This is
a "cookbook" of sorts! If you replace each element with its symbol (and the two backwards elements with their symbols backwards), you can anagram each group to get an Italian food:
Bi S Te C Ca
F Ag I O Li
La S Ag Na
mA C Ar O Ni
Ra V I O Li
S P Ag H eT Ti
The black shapes above each group are the silhouettes of the food being made.

In addition to Deusovi's answer,
The title is an anagram of 'MY ITALIAN KITCHEN'
