Gino D'Acampo is back in his homeland, exploring its cuisine and presenting his own take on traditional dishes
Gino D'Acampo is back in his homeland, exploring its cuisine and presenting his own take on traditional dishes.
He begins in the region of Abruzzo, where he gets hands-on making the local type of pasta, spaghetti alla chitarra, with a special guitar-type cutting tool that gives the pasta its square edge.
After whipping up a simple chitarra dish with tomatoes, garlic and rocket, he visits a sheep farmer who challenges him to recreate a shepherd’s snack made from chunks of mutton.
But when Gino presents his lamb skewers with a green bean and goat's cheese salad, we know which version we prefer… With stunning scenery and mouthwatering dishes, Gino's travelogues are always 'fantastico'.
