Italian Lunch 20 Superb Recipes Lunches Book

Lunch in Italy is a main meal eaten slowly with wine followed by an afternoon nap and enjoyed to the fullest. Here I’ve put together some typical lunchtime meals easy to prepare and so delicious you will make them part of your weekly menu. Lunch is a light meal, and many of these recipes are popular at other times of the day as well. In the south, calzones are popular at lunch, while Sicilian meat pies make for a satisfying midday meal. Given the scenic Italian countryside, outdoor lunches are a joy at any time of the year; the simple combination of mozzarella, walnuts, and honey provides a delightful balance of salty and sweet. Another regionally popular combination is prawns with a salad of orange, fennel, and raisins, smooth and crusty with a hint of sweetness. Lunch in Italy can be as simple or as elaborate as you wish.
