The Two Greedy Italians Visit Piedmont

30 April 2011

I don't often watch cookery programs. There are so many on UK TV now, trying every format imaginable but by accident I caught part of 'Two Greedy Italians' a couple of weeks ago. It was that beautiful Alfa Romeo Giulia that caught my eye! And the program was great. Funny and made us proud to be in Italy.

It's the journey through Italy of the two great Italian chefs Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo.

But this week they're in Carluccio's home region of Piedmont! So, one not to miss. There's sure to be plenty about the incredible gastronomy of this region.

You can see it on the BBC iPlayer

 English Chef Jamie Oliver began his career with Antonio Carluccio.

"Internationally renowned chefs and old friends Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo return to the Italy they left more than 40 years ago, to discover what has changed in Italian culture and how that has affected the way Italians eat.”
