home food (and tv clip)

I’ve been wanting to write something about Home Food for a while. Home Food is an association of home cooks throughout Italy, that welcomes guests into their homes for meals. These are not ‘pop up’ restaurants, or anything ‘underground’. Just women who are keeping alive the traditions. It’s a fantastic way to sample regional cooking, if you are coming to Italy.
 
I got to know Home Food very well when I was working on the Italian segments for Gourmet’s Diary of a Foodie. Rather than re-write everything I discovered, I’m posting this clip from the series.



It’s pretty easy to reserve. Just visit there web site (which is in inventively translated English) and find out if there is an ‘event’ happening in a city you’ll be visiting. If not, try writing them an email, and they will probably be able to set something up for you.
