Italy has a wonderfully rich tradition of desserts, from light and airy pastries to the rich cheeses of cannoli in the south and decadent chocolates of the north.

Side dishes in Italy are always served separately, never together on ths same dish as the main course.

Soups play an important part in the Italian diet. In northern Italy and Tuscany they tend to be heartier bean soups, while lighter soups are popular in the south. - Debbie
