What is cucina povera? Translated as ‘the kitchen of the poor’, cucina povera refers to the traditional cooking techniques and recipes that originated from Italy’s rural peasant populations. Often described as a ‘philosophy’, cucina povera actually originated out of necessity – historically, this was the only way that many Italians could afford to cook. Cucina povera recipes are fundamentally frugal, with an emphasis on not wasting food, making more out of less and savouring every ingredient.
