Episode One of Itinerant Epicures...

Tomorrow we'll be heading towards the Cilento region to start filming the Pilot episode of our food and travel programme. Stay tuned for a daily update of the journey, we'll be starting at the archeological site of the ancient greek city of Elea, winding our way down the coast towards Marina di Pisciotta a tiny fishing village famous for its ancient traditional method of anchovy fishing. From here we'll head inland to the abandoned villages of San Severino and Roscigno Vecchio, from whence villagers were forced to flea because of landslides and poverty before and during the world wars. We'll be meeting with slow food producers of traditional cured meats, cheese makers and owners of a D.O.P olive oil farm and press. WE'll be bringing you recipes cooked around the campfire, bringing you into the homes of the villagers, meeting local chefs and producers whose methods of food production have remained unchanged for generations.

Don't miss it!
