So, no matter where you are in the country these days, there’s always something vegan and delicious to sink your teeth into. The result? Italian vegan food, just nobody called it that. Basically, because animal products were expensive and people didn’t have much money, Italians of old relied on ingredients that were cheap and readily available. Most traditional Italian cuisine is based on what’s called “cucina povera”, which translates to something like “cooking of the poor” (or, if you’re feeling less politically correct, “peasant cooking”). In fact, from traditional tuscan foods, to the food valley specialties of Emilia-Romagna, to the most authentic dishes in Rome, amazing vegan food in Italy is plentiful and delicious! Having recently come back from a two-month vegan Italian adventure, I can safely say that this amazing destination, steeped in history and famed for its incredible food, is most definitely on the cards for anyone who (like me) eats a plant-based diet.
