Preserving Italy's culinary heritage

The Italian mamma who used to spend most of the day in the kitchen preparing meals for her family is pretty much a thing of the past.Ìý Her disappearance is threatening to take with it a rich store of complicated but mouth-watering recipes and cooking traditions. That's why Egeria di Nallo, a professor of Sociology at the University of Bologna decided to set up HomeFood, an organization aimed at preserving Italy's culinary heritage.Ìý

Homefood hasÌýbuilt up aÌýnational network of women - known as 'cesarine' -Ìýwho are happy to open their homes to people they've never met before, serving them local dishes and passing on their generations-old family recipes.Ìý

Elisa Moggi was the first Cesarina to host a dinner two years ago, and she's been holding them regularly ever since. Dany Mitzman joins Elisa in her kitchen with the director of HomeFood, Cristina Fortini.
