Cookucina

Tam and Lia cross the mountains to buy trout at the head of a mountain stream, find the perfect red wine in an immaculate vineyard, select pears from Gino, the local greengrocer, and succulent peppers from the Cookucina garden.

Tam and Lia go to the market to buy anchovies from the Fish Pirate and travel to a ruined hillside castle to find a restaurateur who specialises in the medieval recipes of Italy's beautiful Le Marche region.

Tam and Lia make a fish mousse with the ugliest fish ever; Tonino and his dog, Fiuto, search for truffles.

The Sibillini Mountains is home to unique Marchigiana cattle that graze the high pastures in summer; a visit to a family-run business making a local speciality, a soft salami called ciauscolo; a medieval pageant in Sarnano.

Tam and Lia join in a local Sagra, a summer party with homemade food, and travel to the hills to watch ricotta cheese being made in Maria's country kitchen.

Tam and Lia meet a barrel of wine that's over a hundred years old.
