Genoa Cuisine
Predominately Italian based, however Genoa had many influences through the centuries. This includes Spanish, French, Greek, Middle Eastern as well as the introduction of imported specialities from the America’s such as: Potatoes, beans, tomatoes, capsicum, peppers, pumpkins, peanuts, pinenuts, avocado, guava, papaya, turkey, chocolate(!). Some of these were considered ‘barbaric’ in Europe, whilst others were readily accepted, such as chile peppers, cacao (chocolate) and pineapples.
The first recipe identified in print as Genovese was for Torta all Genoevese – a sort of pie filled with apples, dates, raisins and pulverised almonds, hazelnuts and pine nuts. This appeared in 1529 in a Catalan-language cookbook.
