I really loved watching Antiono Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo travel through Italy talking about their past, cooking and eating the regional dishes. There was something very appealing about the differences in their experiences the humour, they share and the slightly more serious reflections that this trip back to Italy evokes. If you didn’t see it when it was on TV you really you missed a real treat. But now you have the opportunity to watch again on DVD.
I think my favourite episode is the second one, when they visit the Amalfi Coast where Gennaro grew up. Here we meet really interesting people who make the most frugal of the dishes, made from almost nothing, reflecting the former poverty of the area.
There are two DVDs and 237 minutes of beautiful scenery, stories of the past and glorious italian food.

My favourite iatalian food is pizza! (preferably homemade)
I love thin crust pizza with anchovies
calzone, yum yum
A proper italian thin crust pizza
There is a pub near where my parents live which uses an authentic stone oven and handmakes all the pizzas from scratch – they are soooo yummy – and not that unhealthy at all compared to shop brought or takeaways

All this talk of Italian food is making me hungry. A hearty bowl of pasta would go down well just now.
