If you spend the day in Milan, the breaded cotoletta is a must-have.

Then there is the classic recipe of a Lombardy speciality: risotto. Not only every city but also each family has its own variant of it. The Milanese version requires saffron and ossobuco while the people of Mantua prepare it with pumpkin. 

In wintertime, today's choice is naturally the casoela, made with pork meat and rinds and cabbage. 

Going up the mountains, we recommend Valtellina's pizzoccheri, the taroz and bresaola. If you are near the Lario, try some pickled freshwater fish or fried perch. Don't forget to taste a few slices of goose prosciutto in Pavia with a glass of Franciacorta.

Practice food and wine tourism in Lombardy in the comfort of your kitchen. Find inspiration in today's suggestion and start cooking.
