Global Cucina - Cooking the world, the Italian way
Editorial Manifesto
Italian cuisine is more than a collection of recipes. It is a cultural discipline, a shared identity, and a way of understanding food recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. At Global Cucina, Ago Tanfossi starts from this foundation to explore recipes from Italy and beyond with one clear principle: excellence is never accidental. It comes from care, respect for ingredients, technique, and time.
Every cuisine in the world can become a capolavoro. What makes the difference is the Italian approach to cooking: passion without shortcuts, simplicity mastered through knowledge, and love expressed through precision. This project exists to share that mindset, not to imitate Italy, but to understand why it works so well and apply those values everywhere. If Italians do it better, it is only because they learned how to care first. Here, you will learn to do the same.
In Italian tradition, the table is a social moment: a place to share, but above all to listen. Here you share joy with family and friends, and you pour a good wine. If you are eating alone, choose a quality TV show as company and honor the meal anyway: eat slowly. Now turn the page and enjoy the story, one dish at a time.
