Recently, I shared a little about quality Italian canned tomatoes along with a list of canned tomato recipes. Now, I want to explain my reasons for promoting Italian canned tomatoes in more depth. I started my site in 2011 and have been getting on my soapbox about quality ingredients since day one. I’ve also ranted about “Italian” recipes that have no basis in Italian cuisine, and are loaded with misinformation.

Do you know how it feels when you hear someone talking about something you are well-versed in, that is in your line of work, or is your specialty, and they are confidently spewing “facts” that are entirely wrong? YOU realize how misinformed they are, but the people they are speaking to do not, and are buying it, hook, line and sinker. Don’t you just want to take those people aside and give them the proper information?
