First series of the BBC cooking show in which chefs Gennaro Contaldo and Antonio Carluccio travel around Italy sampling cuisine. Carluccio and Contaldo left Italy over 40 years ago and are particularly interested in how the nation's cooking practices and habits have altered since their departure. The two chefs take lunch with a family who still consider meals together and the passing of recipes down from mother to daughter central to family life. At the opposite end of the spectrum, they meet a millionaire who made his fortune selling a fast food version of tortellini. The episodes are: 'The Family', 'Poor Man's Food', 'Regional Pride' and 'Saints and Miracles'.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play The kings of Italian cuisine Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo return to Italy together to remember their own pasts and discover how the culinary capital of the world is changing the way it cooks and eats. Travelling to different Italian regions, they uncover a changed Italy in some areas and a fiercely traditional, mostly untouched world in others.   In each of the four hour-long episodes, Carluccio and Contaldo will create dishes using recipes, ingredients and influences they discover along their gastronomic journey as well as some of their own favourite traditional meals.   The journey is distinctly personal, drawing upon Antonio and Gennaro's upbringing in Italy through their memories and anecdotes, whilst reflecting their sometimes fractious, often hilarious relationship.   INCLUDES 4 RECIPE CARDS - Taken from the accompanying book, so you can cook along at home.
