8469 Carluccio and the Rennaisance Cookbook

This sounds a enjoyable programme later to take away the winter blues and look towards warmer times in Italy in the not too distant future - BBC 2 tonight, 8-9pm I for one will be watching it.

Chef Antonio Carluccio goes to his beloved Italy with a Renaissance cookbook for a guide. He follows the trail of its author, Bartolomeo Scappi, who cooked for the cardinals, emperors and popes of the 16th century. Antonio resurrects 500 year old recipes, cooking eel in Venice, porcini mushrooms in Lombardy, and stuffing a suckling pig in Rome. He ends his journey with a banquet fit for a pope
