Forty-two Italian dishes make up this list, from acquacotta and bruschetta to garmugia, panzanella, ciambotta and panna cotta. Free to print as a PDF, or play it online.

Several of these are peasant dishes with polite names. Acquacotta means cooked water and was exactly that: stale bread, onion and whatever a Tuscan charcoal burner had, softened in broth. Panzanella is the same principle with tomatoes. Italian cooking that the rest of the world treats as refined was mostly invented by people making bread from yesterday go further.

Tiramisu is the modern one and it is much younger than it feels. It has no documented existence before the 1960s, appears first in the Veneto, and two restaurants have spent decades arguing about which of them made it. Carbonara is nearly as recent and contains no cream, which Italians will tell you at length.
