Classic Italian Boiled Meats

Italian cooking is very difficult to pin down -- almost every city and town has its specialties, and there are regional trends too; the end result is a huge number of local cuisines rather than a single national cuisine. However, there are some dishes that you will find almost everywhere, and that are now standards among the many Italian communities scattered across the globe.

Bollito Misto alla Piemontese
Who would ever guess that boiled dinner could be such a delight? A favorite of the King, and with lots of sauce recipes too.

Cima alla Genovese
Breast of veal, stuffed and simmered to perfection. A Ligurian classic.

Vitello Tonnato
Chilled veal in tuna sauce: a classic summer dish, and an indispensable part of the Ascension Day feast in Milano.
