— Sophia Loren

Simplified Meaning:
When you cook, what you make reflects the area you live in and the way people live there. For example, if you live near the sea, you'll probably use a lot of fish in your dishes. In Italy, people use tomatoes, olive oil, and pasta because those ingredients are common there. In Japan, rice and fish are used often because they are easy to get there. The ingredients and methods people use in cooking show their history, their customs, and what is important to them. By cooking local dishes, you connect with the culture and traditions of the place you live.
