Chef Gino D'Acampo continues his Italian Escape in Naples, the area where he was born. There he explores the key foods and ingredients that have made the city famous, namely pizza and coffee.
Gino continues his culinary tour around his native Italy, in Naples the city of his birth and the place credited with the invention of the pizza! He samples street food especially a deep fried pizza, meets the Professor who makes unique coffee drinks and cooks a chicken dish invented by his mother. Finally, in a defunct caldera, he cooks a rustic frittata using local ingredients.—Mark Smith <msmith@osi.co.uk>
Gino revisits his birth place, the historically rich city Naples, with poor but inventive inhabitants, in search of the tastes of his youth, both street-vended and home-cooked. Special attention for the endlessly varied pizza's oddest local specialty, fried, and bizarre uses of coffee.—KGF Vissers
