Chef Gino D'Acampo visits his favorite places along the Mediterranean coast of Italy, starting with the stunning Amalfi coast. He makes Caprese salad in Positano, N'dunderi pasta in Minori, and tuna bruschetta with anchovy drip in Cetara.
On the chic island of Capri, the favorite vacation spot of the rich and famous,Gino meets a legendary paparazzo, visits a lemon grower, and bakes the delicious iconic almond-based local cake - torta caprese.
A day at a ranch in Maremma, Toscany, inspires Gino to make a real cowboy meal a beach barbecue featuring succulent pork ribs, pork chops and sausages, all marinated in honey and whiskey, with spicy beans and grilled veggies on the side.
On the magnificent island of Elba, Gino pays a visit to Napoleon's house, and meets a quirky octogenarian beekeeper known as the 'bee whisperer', who makes award-winning honey, which inspires Gino to make a melt-in-your-mouth chicken roast drenched in honey.
In the region of Salerno, Gino arrives in the cosy seaside town of Castellabate, where he spent summer vacations with his family as a young boy, to learn the rich history of the place as well as how to make handmade fusilli pasta the traditional way.
Gino continues his journey in the region where he grew up, the bay of Naples. Home of the pizza, street food and fantastic seafood, this is foodie paradise.
