Top chef Catherine Fulvio returns to celebrate and share with us the food and food ethos of one of the world’s great gastronomical centres in Catherine’s Roman holiday.
Catherine is our insider, she is the person who will get us access to the family homes and great restaurants of Rome and Italy. This time the emphasis will be on family food and Catherine will visit Italian families to get them to give her their secrets of handed down recipes. She wants to find inspiration from the city that invented the idea of modern food, as we know it – a city that has more Michelin starred restaurants than any other – for so long the centre of the gatronomical world.
There will be plenty of fun in the sun as Catherine, on her vespa, will criss-cross the eternal city, visiting friends, chefs, teachers, looking for inspiration in the markets, restaurants and homes of Romans.
