Episode 1

Silvia starts with the basics. How do Italian home cooks shop for pantry staples and fresh produce? After visiting an Italian deli that's been running since the 1960’s and her local fruit and vegetable shop, Silvia prepares a rustic Tuscan chickpea pasta for her daughter Luna, bakes two succulent and savoury Schiacciata breads, and makes her mothers apple and mascarpone cake. Proving that when an Italian pantry is well stocked, you only need a few fresh ingredients to create simple yet memorable meals.
