Italian kitchens are very special places. The buzz of activity, combined with the display of fresh ingredients and the emission of fantastic aromas, make the Italian kitchen a living, breathing space with promises of good things to savor. The best Italian restaurants Orlando, specifically Christini’s Ristorante Italiano, know the joy of a true Italian kitchen. Christini’s has assembled the finest in the Central Florida area.
Recreating a true Italian kitchen at home is not a difficult task. There are some essential gadgets that should be accumulated to assist in the prep and cooking process. A good pasta pot with a 5-8 gallon capacity is a great place to start. Wooden spoons are very important to the Italian cook as are cheese graters and ladles. A selection of high-quality sharp knives is indispensable to any chef whether at home or in a commercial setting. Things like a garlic press, juicers, zesters, and pasta machines can be added if your budget allows.
Cheeses such as Parmesan Reggiano, Romano, and Pecorino are ready to be grated at a moment’s notice to lend their unique flavors to most dishes prepared in this wondrous place. Softer cheeses such as ricotta and mozzarella require refrigeration and are purchased as needed. Start slowly and purchase what you need for each recipe. That will help you keep your pantry stocked with the freshest fixings.
No doubt you will find more than one type of olive oil in the true Italian kitchen, each with its own purpose. A bottle of red and a bottle of white wine are also available in Italian kitchens. Remember to purchase something that you would drink at the table if you plan to add it to a recipe.
