Cucina Napoletana: Naples and the South Italian Foundation

Neapolitan cooking is the most influential regional Italian tradition globally — pizza, pasta, and the tomato-based cooking that the world recognises as "Italian food" are fundamentally Neapolitan. The Kingdom of Naples (which ruled southern Italy for centuries) and the specific poverty and abundance of the Campania region produced a cooking tradition of extraordinary vitality: maximum flavour from minimum ingredients, tomato as the defining ingredient, pasta as the daily staple.
