00:12:46,239 --> 00:12:48,439
PRINCESS.
NOT ONLY SHE BRINGS A LOT OF
169
00:12:48,441 --> 00:12:51,711
FAMILY BUT SHE BROUGHT A LOT OF
NEW SPICES FROM THE NEW WORLD,
170
00:12:51,711 --> 00:13:00,219
THE CHOCOLATE AND THE COFFEE AND
PEPPERCHINO.
171
00:13:00,219 --> 00:13:04,957
>> THAT’S WHEN THE TOMATOES
ARRIVED?
172
00:13:04,957 --> 00:13:06,957
>> COMPLETELY ALTER ITALIAN
CUISINE.
173
00:13:06,959 --> 00:13:15,668
>> COMPLETELY.
>> THE ARTS AND THE IDEAS THAT
174
00:13:15,668 --> 00:13:22,408
GREW HERE IN THE RENAISSANCE
CHANGED HOW WE SEE THE WORLD.
175
00:13:22,408 --> 00:13:26,338
THIS FAMILY ALSO CHANGED THE WAY
THINGS TASTE.
176
00:13:26,346 --> 00:13:37,824
IT MAY SEEM A LONG WAY FROM
MICHAELANGELO TO THE T‐BONE YOU
177
00:13:37,824 --> 00:13:43,194
ARE EATING.
HE’S ACTUALLY A RENOWNED CHEF,
178
00:13:43,196 --> 00:13:58,378
BORN AND BRED FLORENTINE AND A
MASTER OF MEAT.
179
00:13:58,378 --> 00:14:03,208
BACK IN THE 1500s, MOST PEOPLE
WOULD NOT GET CLOSE TO CUTS OF
180
00:14:03,216 --> 00:14:09,856
MEAT THIS GOOD.
TUSCANY’S FAMOUS NEEDED A LOT OF
181
00:14:09,856 --> 00:14:12,358
LAND THAT WAS HUGELY EXPENSIVE
TO RUN.
182
00:14:12,358 --> 00:14:29,768
OF COURSE THE MEDICCI DID NOT
WORRY ABOUT THAT
183
00:14:29,776 --> 00:14:37,283
.
500 YEARS LATER THANKFULLY, WE
184
00:14:37,283 --> 00:14:44,857
DON’T NEED TO BE A GRAND DUKE TO
ENJOY STEAKS THIS BIG.
185
00:14:44,857 --> 00:14:51,827
FABIO WANTS TO COOK THE
TUSCANY’S TRADITIONAL DISH, THE
186
00:14:51,831 --> 00:14:57,170
MAGNIFICENT.
>> GOOD?
187
00:14:57,170 --> 00:15:05,510
>> AND IN CASE LUNCH IS NOT LOOK
LOOKING WORTHY ENOUGH OF TEN
188
00:15:05,511 --> 00:15:08,848
MEN, FABIO PICKS OUT ANOTHER CUT
OF MEAT.
189
00:15:08,848 --> 00:15:14,118
WE HEAD BACK TO THE DELI WITH
FABIO.
190
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,790
OH, LOOK AT THAT.
LOOK AT THE FLOUR.
191
00:15:18,791 --> 00:15:25,131
WE HEAD UP TO HIS HIGHWAYDE AWAY
THE ROOF WHERE HE DOES HIS
192
00:15:25,131 --> 00:15:25,898
COOKING.
OH MY GOD.
193
00:15:25,898 --> 00:15:28,498
COME ON.
WE ARE STARTING WITH THE BEEF.
194
00:15:28,501 --> 00:15:35,271
THE MEDICI’S FAMILY FAVORITE.
THIS CATTLE HAS GRAZED THE
195
00:15:35,274 --> 00:15:38,077
TUSCANY
TUSCANY’S FIELD FOR 2,000 YEARS.
196
00:15:38,077 --> 00:15:56,857
THEY’RE SUCH HIGH QUALITY THAT
WE ARE EATING IT RAW
197
00:15:56,863 --> 00:16:00,833
.
>> OH MY GOD.
198
00:16:00,833 --> 00:16:23,122
>> THE BEST SUSHI I EVER HAD.
AND NOW THE MAIN EVENT
199
00:16:23,122 --> 00:16:31,030
.
>> HE’S DOING NOW IS THIS IS THE
200
00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:34,030
SECRET.
>> FAMILY’S SECRET BESIDES
201
00:16:34,033 --> 00:16:39,739
EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF SALTS SO THE
LITTLE WHISKS OF OLIVE BRANCH
202
00:16:39,739 --> 00:16:49,309
LIKE THIS IN THE FIRE.
SO YOU ARE GETTING THE ANYWAY
203
00:16:49,315 --> 00:17:01,594
VOR OF THOSE OLIVEFLAVOR OF
THOSE OLIVE BRANCHES.
204
00:17:01,594 --> 00:17:09,234
DURING THE RENAISSANCE, THE
MEDICI HANDED OUT ROAST BEEF TO
205
00:17:09,235 --> 00:17:12,905
COMMON PEOPLE AND THEY KEPT THE
AMAZING MEAT FOR THEMSELVES.
206
00:17:12,905 --> 00:17:17,109
THIS ONE ACTUALLY COMES FROM THE
SAME AREA WHERE THE MEDICI
207
00:17:17,109 --> 00:17:23,679
FAMILY ORIGINATED.
>> OH JESUS.
208
00:17:23,683 --> 00:17:26,953
THIS IS LIKE NO STEAK I HAVE
EVER EATEN.
209
00:17:26,953 --> 00:17:31,023
IT IS BOTH CRISP AND DELICATE
AND THE SMOKE CARRIES WITH IT
210
00:17:31,023 --> 00:17:34,193
THE TASTE OF THE LAND.
GOD DAMN IT.
211
00:17:34,193 --> 00:17:39,332
IT JUST MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH.
IT IS WHAT MAKES THE REGIONAL
212
00:17:39,332 --> 00:17:43,669
COOKING OF ITALY IS SO MUCH MORE
THAN A TASTY MEAL.
213
00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:57,849
#
THE PALATE IS THE ORIGIN THAT
214
00:17:57,850 --> 00:18:12,198
CONNECTS ITALY
215
00:18:12,198 --> 00:18:34,518
.
>>
216
00:18:48,668 --> 00:18:54,807
THE HOST HEADS OUT TO THE
SPECTACULAR HILLS AND TELLS YOU
217
00:18:54,807 --> 00:19:01,247
HOW THE MEDITERRANEAN SUN
BLESSEDBLESS
218
00:19:01,247 --> 00:19:05,117
BLESSEDBLESS
BLESSED TUSCANY FOR 3,000 YEARS.
219
00:19:05,117 --> 00:19:15,857
I AM NOT GOING TO DO THAT.
I AM GOING ON A GOOD OLD FASHION
220
00:19:15,861 --> 00:19:20,331
BAR ROAD.
WHEN I SAY OLD FASHION, I MEAN
221
00:19:20,332 --> 00:19:26,338
LIKE THE RENAISSANCE.
>> I AM GOING TO MEET A FRIEND
222
00:19:26,338 --> 00:19:29,808
OF MINE, ELIZABETH WHO’S A
RENAISSANCE SCHOLAR.
223
00:19:29,809 --> 00:19:32,478
SHE’S INCREDIBLY BORING BUT
WE’LL MAKE IT THROUGH.
224
00:19:32,478 --> 00:19:33,908
MY GOD, I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU
CAME.
225
00:19:33,913 --> 00:19:36,813
HI.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
226
00:19:36,816 --> 00:19:39,785
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.
227
00:19:39,785 --> 00:19:45,958
THIS LITTLE BAR HAS JUST
REINTRODUCED TO 500 YEARS OLD
228
00:19:45,958 --> 00:19:56,328
TRADITION.
IN 1559, OUR OLD FRIEND, DECREE
229
00:19:56,335 --> 00:20:11,183
THAT WEALTHY FLOURENTINE CAN SEL
THE WINE.
230
00:20:11,183 --> 00:20:17,823
SO THE FAMILY HAD TO RESTART A
BUSINESS AND TO DO SOMETHING
231
00:20:17,823 --> 00:20:22,027
DIFFERENT AND NOT JUST TO REDUCE
WINE.
232
00:20:22,027 --> 00:20:24,497
IT BECAME GREAT BUSINESS FOR
THAT MOMENT FOR MANY FAMILIES
233
00:20:24,497 --> 00:20:26,327
BECAUSE IT WAS FROM PRODUCERS TO
CONSUMERS.
234
00:20:26,332 --> 00:20:32,338
>> RIGHT.
>> NO MIDDLEMAN.
235
00:20:32,338 --> 00:20:45,317
>> YOU WOULD BUY NOT BY THE
GLASS.
236
00:20:45,317 --> 00:20:49,047
SOMETIME THEY WOULD PLACE A
FLASK ON TOP.
237
00:20:49,054 --> 00:20:52,191
>> I REMEMBER THESE THINGS, YOU
KNOW WHERE YOU PUT A LITTLE
238
00:20:52,191 --> 00:20:54,660
STATUE OR SOMETHING.
>> YEAH.
239
00:20:54,660 --> 00:20:58,160
>> EXACTLY.
LET’S ORDER SOME WINE.
240
00:20:58,164 --> 00:21:00,699
>> DO I PULL THIS?
>> OH, IT IS A BELL.
241
00:21:00,699 --> 00:21:05,337
>> YEAH, IT IS A BELL.
WOULD SOMEONE COME?
242
00:21:05,337 --> 00:21:10,807
>> ROUGHLY SLOW.
>> OH, HI.
243
00:21:10,810 --> 00:21:13,979
>> WONDERFUL.
HOW ARE YOU?
244
00:21:13,979 --> 00:21:22,488
>> WHO ARE YOU KIDDING?
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
245
00:21:22,488 --> 00:21:26,658
OH, THAT’S GOOD.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT WINE TASTED
246
00:21:26,659 --> 00:21:30,759
BETTER WHEN IT COMES THROUGH A
WINDOW.
247
00:21:30,763 --> 00:21:32,932
>> YEAH.
YOU GOT ANOTHER WINE?
248
00:21:32,932 --> 00:21:37,336
>> YEAH, IT SEEMS TO BE EMPTY.
>> OH, HOW ARE YOU?
249
00:21:37,336 --> 00:21:43,206
>> 500 YEARS AGO, EVERYONE WAS
ENCOURAGED TO DRINK AT LEAST A
250
00:21:43,209 --> 00:21:49,009
LITER OF WINE A DAY.
NOT FOR THE WINE’S MAKER PROFIT
251
00:21:49,014 --> 00:21:52,351
BUT FOR HEALTH REASONS.
>> TELL ME EVERYTHING ELSE YOU
252
00:21:52,351 --> 00:21:54,119
KNOW.
SOME PEOPLE NEEDED TO BE MORE
253
00:21:54,119 --> 00:22:00,759
HEALTHY THAN OTHERS.
DID YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WERE
254
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,629
PREGNANT, YOU COULD HAVE WINE AT
ANY TIME?
255
00:22:03,629 --> 00:22:06,229
>> YOU COULD HAVE WINE ANY TIME
IF YOU WERE PREGNANT?
256
00:22:06,232 --> 00:22:10,669
>> HEY, MY MOTHER DID THAT, TOO.
>> REALLY?
257
00:22:10,669 --> 00:22:12,799
SORT OF LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF
TODAY.
258
00:22:12,805 --> 00:22:18,878
>> YEAH.
>> OKAY.
259
00:22:18,878 --> 00:22:23,848
COME ON.
>> THIS COULD BE A DISAPPOINT
260
00:22:23,849 --> 00:22:34,019
DISAPPOINTINGLY SHORT WINE ‐‐
WINE ‐‐ THESE LITTLE WINE
261
00:22:34,026 --> 00:22:36,962
WINDOWS DON’T EXIST ANYWHERE
OUTSIDE OF TUSCANY, ANOTHER
262
00:22:36,962 --> 00:22:41,400
EXAMPLE OF RENAISSANCE’S GENIUS.
>> THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY OF
263
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,430
THEM.
>> YEAH.
264
00:22:43,435 --> 00:22:47,105
>> AND COMPLETELY BY CHANCE THAT
WE COME ACROSS ANOTHER.
265
00:22:47,106 --> 00:23:13,836
>> THE SIGN WOULD BE FROM WHEN?
TUCCI.
266
00:23:20,105 --> 00:23:24,209
>> THE LITTLE DOORS OF PARADISE.
>> YEAH.
267
00:23:24,209 --> 00:23:27,579
>> HI, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
THERE YOU ARE AGAIN.
268
00:23:27,579 --> 00:23:39,358
HOW ARE YOU?
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
269
00:23:39,358 --> 00:23:42,328
CIAO.
>> TO END THE OOERCHEVENING, WE
270
00:23:42,328 --> 00:23:52,338
OUT FOR THE LOCAL VINE.
VISANTO.
271
00:23:52,338 --> 00:23:58,477
>> TUSCANY’S TRADITION,
INTERVENE SOMETHING.
272
00:23:58,477 --> 00:24:04,847
>> IT IS LIKE CORNER OR ANGLE.
>> OH, ANGLE, IS THAT WHAT IT
273
00:24:04,850 --> 00:24:07,550
MEANS?
>> SWEET AND CRUNCHY AND HEAVY
274
00:24:07,553 --> 00:24:12,358
DELIGHT.
MAYBE TOO HEAVY.
275
00:24:12,358 --> 00:24:16,028
ANYTHING THAT ENDS IN ‐TUCCI, I
LIKE.
276
00:24:16,028 --> 00:24:22,928
>> YOU ARE SO FUNNY.
>> THAT’S THE END OF THA
277
00:24:36,582 --> 00:25:02,708
>>> TUSCANY MAY BE RENOWNED FOR
INCREDIBLE NEED FOR WINE WINEFIN
278
00:25:02,708 --> 00:25:09,208
>> SO YOU WANT TO SHOW ME SOME
BEANS?
279
00:25:09,214 --> 00:25:17,890
>> THE BEST ARE SOFINI.
THESE KINDS OF BEANS YOU DON’T
280
00:25:17,890 --> 00:25:19,720
NEED TO PUT IN THE WATER BEFORE
COOK IT.
281
00:25:19,725 --> 00:25:34,506
>> WE DON’T HAVE TO SOAK THEM.
>> IT MEANS ‐‐ BEANS EATER.
282
00:25:34,506 --> 00:25:37,636
>> NOW YOU ARE GOING TO MIX IT
ALL UP.
283
00:25:37,643 --> 00:25:41,647
>> OKAY.
>> THE COOKING IS REALLY VERY
284
00:25:41,647 --> 00:25:43,077
POOR, SIMPLE COOKING.
>> YEAH.
285
00:25:43,082 --> 00:25:45,751
>> THAT’S TRUE.
>> I READ THAT DURING THE
286
00:25:45,751 --> 00:25:49,451
RENAISSANCE.
>> THE WEALTHIER PEOPLE WOULD
287
00:25:49,455 --> 00:25:53,892
HAVE BEANS WHERE AS THE POORER
PEOPLE WOULD HAVE BEANS AND SOME
288
00:25:53,892 --> 00:25:57,292
KIND OF SOUP AND SOME BREAD AND
THAT WAS IT.
289
00:25:57,296 --> 00:26:00,432
>> YEAH.
>> WE USE WHAT WE HAVE.
290
00:26:00,432 --> 00:26:08,040
IT IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE
CHARACTER OF THE TUSCANY PEOPLE.
291
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,510
>> I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A KID
WE CAME HERE AND WE TASTED THE
292
00:26:12,511 --> 00:26:16,111
BREAD AND I WAS LIKE THIS IS
TERRIBLE, THE WORST THING I HAD
293
00:26:16,115 --> 00:26:18,517
IN MY LIFE.
WE NEVER GOT USED TO IT.
294
00:26:18,517 --> 00:26:21,787
>> SEEING THESE BASIC
INGREDIENTS HERE IN THE CITY
295
00:26:21,787 --> 00:26:29,857
MARKET IS ONE THING.
THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY UNDERSTAND
296
00:26:29,862 --> 00:26:31,630
TUS
TUSCAN’S POOR FOOD IS TO GET OUT
297
00:26:31,630 --> 00:26:33,730
OF THE CITY AND GO INTO THE
BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE.
298
00:26:33,732 --> 00:26:36,368
>> IS IT AMAZING WHEN YOU LOOK
AROUND?
299
00:26:36,368 --> 00:26:40,838
>> YOU REALLY DON’T SEE A
CONTEMPORARY BUILDING FOR MILES.
300
00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:45,377
>> LOOK AT THAT.
>> I AM FOLLOWING THE RIVER, 50
301
00:26:45,377 --> 00:26:49,947
MILES SOUTH OF FLORENCE TO A
SMALL
302
00:26:49,948 --> 00:26:56,148
SMALL VILLAGE WHERE I HAVE BEEN
INVITED TO A WHEAT FRESH
303
00:26:56,155 --> 00:27:14,273
FESTIVAL, TO PONTE BURANO.
THE GRAIN OF WHEAT ARE SHAKEN
304
00:27:14,273 --> 00:27:18,643
LOOSE SO THEY CAN BE GROUND
DOWN.
305
00:27:18,644 --> 00:27:36,061
A LOCAL TEACHER ORGANIZES THIS
306
00:27:36,061 --> 00:27:52,010
EVENT.
307
00:27:52,010 --> 00:27:54,746
>> TONIGHT THERE IS A HUGE FEAST
FOR THE VILLAGE.
308
00:27:54,746 --> 00:27:57,306
THEY’RE COMING TOGETHER TO GIVE
THANKS FOR THE GOOD TIMES IN
309
00:27:57,316 --> 00:28:03,188
THIS REGION THAT WAS ONCE
RAVAGED BY FAMILIES AND FARMERS
310
00:28:03,188 --> 00:28:20,068
WERE TREATED AS INDENTURE
SERVANTS UNTIL RECENTLY.
311
00:28:20,072 --> 00:28:24,242
>> THIS IS A WORLD WAY WAY FROM
THE HUGE STEAKS AND FINE WINE OF
312
00:28:24,243 --> 00:28:26,378
FLORENCE.
THE PEOPLE HERE COOK WHAT THEY
313
00:28:26,378 --> 00:28:29,978
GROW.
AFTER THE HARVESTING AND THE
314
00:28:29,982 --> 00:28:34,182
WHEAT, WHAT THEY ARE LEFT WITH
IS BREAD.
315
00:28:34,186 --> 00:28:45,964
>> OH.
>> LOTS AND LOTS OF BREAD.
316
00:28:45,964 --> 00:28:54,273
>> SO HERE THE DOWUGH IS RISING
AND YOU COOK IT.
317
00:28:54,273 --> 00:28:59,443
>> OVER IN THE KITCHENS, SOME OF
THE 200 VILLAGERS ARE HARD AT
318
00:28:59,444 --> 00:29:05,183
WORK PREPARING THE FEAST.
HERE TOO, BREAD IN THIS ROOM AND
319
00:29:05,183 --> 00:29:23,769
PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING.
>> WHAT ARE THEY MAKING?
320
00:29:23,769 --> 00:29:36,948
>> OH, THE GANDER.
OH MY GOD.
321
00:29:36,948 --> 00:29:41,586
IT IS DELICIOUS BUT IT IS SO
HOT.
322
00:29:41,586 --> 00:29:49,226
>> I GO OUT BACK AND DISCOVERED
WOOD FIRED OVENS FULL OF
323
00:29:49,227 --> 00:29:52,357
ROASTING GAS.
THESE MALE GEESE WERE ONE OF THE
324
00:29:52,364 --> 00:30:02,074
FARM ANIMALS WHERE PEASANTS
ALLOWED TO GROW THEMSELVES AND
325
00:30:02,074 --> 00:30:04,776
DID NOT HAVE TO SAVE WITH THE
LANDLORD.
326
00:30:04,776 --> 00:30:14,816
THE SMELL IS INCREDIBLE.
>> COMEN.
327
00:30:14,820 --> 00:30:18,990
>> IT IS LIKE CHRISTMAS IN YOUR
MOUTH.
328
00:30:18,990 --> 00:30:33,138
>>
329
00:30:33,138 --> 00:30:42,948
WOW.
WELL, YOU ARE A GREATGREAT COOKS
330
00:30:42,948 --> 00:30:49,888
OVER THE CENTURIES, THE FOOD OF
THE WORKING PEOPLE HERE IN THE
331
00:30:49,888 --> 00:30:53,118
TUSCAN SIDE DEVELOPS INTO THEIR
OWN CUISINE.
332
00:30:53,125 --> 00:30:56,895
IT IS NOT A SHOWY.
IT IS ONE THAT’S JUST GLORIOUS
333
00:30:56,895 --> 00:31:04,405
AS THE LANDSCAPE FROM WHICH IT
COMES.
334
00:31:44,576 --> 00:31:50,415
>>> MY NIGHT AT THE WHEAT
FESTIVAL AS REMINDED ME OF THE
335
00:31:50,415 --> 00:31:53,785
OBSESSION THAT TUSCANY HAS WITH
BREAD.
336
00:31:53,785 --> 00:31:56,154
IT IS A LOVE THAT ECHOED THROUGH
THE AGES AND THERE ARE RECIPES
337
00:31:56,154 --> 00:31:59,057
THROUGH EVERY STAGE OF A LOAF’S
LIFE.
338
00:31:59,057 --> 00:32:04,757
THE BEST ONES ARE SAVED FOR THE
ADVANCED YEARS WHEN BREAD IS OLD
339
00:32:04,763 --> 00:32:12,771
AND STALE.
THAT’S WHEN TUSCAN COOKS GET
340
00:32:12,771 --> 00:32:16,571
REALLY CREATIVE.
>> HERE WE ARE.
341
00:32:16,575 --> 00:32:17,976
>> YEAH.
>> VERY EXCITING.
342
00:32:17,976 --> 00:32:21,876
I AM HAVING LUNCH AT ONE OF MY
FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN FLORENCE.
343
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:34,459
I AM JOINED AGAIN BY A LOCAL
FOOD EXPERT PROFESSIONAL.
344
00:32:34,459 --> 00:32:37,789
THIS PLACE SPECIALIZES IN POOR
FOOD.
345
00:32:37,796 --> 00:32:42,334
THEIR RECIPE IS SO HEAVENLY, I
AM SURE WHERE ALL BREAD CHOOSE
346
00:32:42,334 --> 00:32:52,344
TO COME UNDONE.
MARCO MARCELLI IS THE
347
00:32:52,344 --> 00:32:57,582
RESTAURANT’S OWNER.
>> WE HAVE TOMATO AND BREAD
348
00:32:57,582 --> 00:33:05,857
SOUP.
THE BASE IS OLIVE OIL AND
349
00:33:05,857 --> 00:33:07,487
GARLIC.
IT SOUNDS VERY SIMPLE.
350
00:33:07,492 --> 00:33:20,872
THE CREAM OF THE TUSCAN’S DISHES
IS THE PANCINELLA.
351
00:33:20,872 --> 00:33:26,278
TUSCAN BREAD SOAKED IN VINEGAR
AND ONIONS AND TOMATOES.
352
00:33:26,278 --> 00:33:33,818
>> IT IS REALLY GOOD.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS AND I
353
00:33:33,818 --> 00:33:40,058
MAKE IT FOR MY KIDS.
JUST EAT IT LIKE IT IS ICE
354
00:33:40,058 --> 00:33:45,797
CREAM.
>> GOOD TOMATOES AND GOOD TUSCAN
355
00:33:45,797 --> 00:33:50,067
BREAD.
I MUST PREFER TUSCAN BREAD
356
00:33:50,068 --> 00:33:56,308
COOKED ON DISHES LIKE THIS
BECAUSE ON ITS OWN IS QUITE
357
00:33:56,308 --> 00:33:59,578
BLAND.
IT ACTUALLY TASTES LIKE CARD
358
00:33:59,578 --> 00:34:05,648
BOARD BECAUSE IT IS UNSALTED.
>> THEY’RE WILLING TO SPEND
359
00:34:05,650 --> 00:34:22,430
MONEY TO OTHER PEOPLE BUT NEVER
GIVE MONEY TO PEASANTS AND EVEN
360
00:34:22,434 --> 00:34:25,503
TODAY.
>> NOW THE IDEA THE BREAD CAN
361
00:34:25,503 --> 00:34:33,111
STAY FOR A LONG TIME.
WITH THE SALT, WE CAN DRY.
362
00:34:33,111 --> 00:34:40,981
>> THE MOST CONVINCING ONE IS WE
DON’T WANT TO GIVE MONEY TO THE
363
00:34:40,986 --> 00:34:43,488
PEASANTS.
>> IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST
364
00:34:43,488 --> 00:34:50,428
DISHES OF TUSCAN’S FOOD.
GIVING OLD BREAD NEW LIFE BY
365
00:34:50,428 --> 00:34:55,498
USING FRESH TOMATOES BY CREATING
SURPRISINGLY REFRESHING SALAD.
366
00:34:55,500 --> 00:35:05,740
KNOWING MY LOVE OF FOOD AND ART,
DANIELLE INVITED ME TO A
367
00:35:05,744 --> 00:35:07,044
FESTIVAL THIS EVENING, A VERY
FANCY FESTIVAL.
368
00:35:07,045 --> 00:35:10,382
THE ONE THING THAT EVERYBODY HAS
IN COMMON IS FOOD.
369
00:35:10,382 --> 00:35:13,782
>> YEAH.
>> THIS EVENT IS ABOUT AS FAR AS
370
00:35:13,785 --> 00:35:20,458
YOU CAN GET FROM THE WHEAT
FESTIVAL.
371
00:35:20,458 --> 00:35:26,398
HERE FLORENCE’S RICHEST FAMILIES
HAVE GATHERED TO TELL THE CITY’S
372
00:35:26,398 --> 00:35:31,798
TALENTS FROM CHEFS TO MUSICIANS
AND ARTISTS HOPING TO FOLLOW IN
373
00:35:31,803 --> 00:35:53,091
THE FOOTSTEPS OF LEONARDODALEONA
VINCI AND MICHAELANGELO.
374
00:35:53,091 --> 00:35:57,128
>> SHE KNOWS ME TOO WELL.
>> INTERESTING.
375
00:35:57,128 --> 00:36:08,838
>> IT IS A VERY SOPHISTICATED
FORM OF PANZANELLA.
376
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,710
>> BUT IT TASTES LIKE
PANZANELLA.
377
00:36:12,711 --> 00:36:23,551
>> NOW IT IS TURNING INTO THIS
SOPHISTICATED FOAM.
378
00:36:23,555 --> 00:36:29,527
>> YOU SEE THE PAST WE
REDISCOVERERED.
379
00:36:29,527 --> 00:36:31,227
REDISCOVERED
REDISCOVERED.
380
00:36:31,229 --> 00:36:40,138
>> A LITTLE RENAISSANCE AND A
LITTLE FUTURE.
381
00:36:40,138 --> 00:36:47,208
>> AFTER TASTING THIS NEW
VERSION OF PANZANELLA, WE FOUND
382
00:36:47,212 --> 00:36:56,287
THE CHEF THAT CREATED IT.
A BRAND NEW RESTAURANT THAT
383
00:36:56,287 --> 00:36:58,717
REAIMAGINES
REAIMAGINES TUSCANY’S RURAL FOOD
384
00:36:58,723 --> 00:37:02,227
IN THE HEART OF THE CITY.
>> THE DISHES WE DO IS TAKE
385
00:37:02,227 --> 00:37:09,797
TRADITIONAL DISHES AND RECIPES
AND THEN ADD SOMETHING NEW.
386
00:37:09,801 --> 00:37:12,001
WE ARE 30 YEARS OLD SO WE WERE
REALLY YOUNG.
387
00:37:12,003 --> 00:37:25,683
>> THESE YOUNG CHEFS ARE SEEING
OLD TUSCAN DISHES WITH NEW EYES.
388
00:37:25,683 --> 00:37:32,190
>> THANK YOU SUSCAN DISH.
BASICALLY MADE WITH SIMPLEST
389
00:37:32,190 --> 00:37:34,259
INGREDIENTS.
ONIONS
390
00:37:34,259 --> 00:37:37,428
ONIONS, TOMATOES AND BREAD AND
CUCUMBERS.
391
00:37:37,428 --> 00:37:41,666
>> OLD BREAD.
>> RIGHT.
392
00:37:41,666 --> 00:37:44,966
YOU ARE TAKING IT TO ANOTHER
LEVEL BY FOAMING IT.
393
00:37:44,969 --> 00:37:48,739
>> IT BECOMES VERY LIGHT.
BUT, STILL KEEPING THE FLAVOR OF
394
00:37:48,740 --> 00:38:00,180
THE PANZANELLA.
>> NOW WE FINISH WITH THE BASIL
395
00:38:00,185 --> 00:38:13,464
AND A COUPLE OF DROPS.
EXTRA VIRGIN OIL.
396
00:38:13,464 --> 00:38:17,734
>> IT IS REALLY FRESH.
>> IT IS LIKE THE PERFECT KIND
397
00:38:17,735 --> 00:38:20,805
OF APPETIZER, IS IT?
>> EXACTLY.
398
00:38:20,805 --> 00:38:24,409
>> WOW.
YOU HAVE TAKEN TOMATOES TO A
399
00:38:24,409 --> 00:38:33,017
WHOLE OTHER PLACE AND THE
SIMPLEST DISHES TO A WHOLE OTHER
400
00:38:33,017 --> 00:38:40,787
LEVEL.
>> THIS SALAD, IT DOES NOT GO TO
401
00:38:40,792 --> 00:38:45,797
WASTE TO FLORENTINE, IT IS GREAT
TO SEE THESE FLAVORS INSPIRING A
402
00:38:45,797 --> 00:38:48,897
NEW GENERATION, MAKING EXCITING
FOOD THAT LOOK
403
00:39:02,614 --> 00:39:06,417
>>> THE FOOD OF RICH CITIES AND
THE POOR COUNTRYSIDE ARE THE TWO
404
00:39:06,417 --> 00:39:12,687
GREAT PILLARS OF TUSCAN CUISINE.
BUT WHAT UNITES THEM IS A FLASH
405
00:39:12,690 --> 00:39:17,490
OF FRESH SEA BREEZE BLOWING IN
FROM TUSCANY’S FABULOUS
406
00:39:17,495 --> 00:39:21,799
COASTLINE.
I HAVE COME TO THE CITY OF
407
00:39:21,799 --> 00:39:24,068
LOVERNO.
IN THE STATE 16th CENTURY, IT
408
00:39:24,068 --> 00:39:30,168
WAS TURNED INTO ONE OF THE GREAT
TRADING PORTS OF ITALY WHERE
409
00:39:30,174 --> 00:39:37,849
TUSCANY WELCOMED THE WORLD.
CHEF IS NEVER HAPPIER THAN WHEN
410
00:39:37,849 --> 00:39:54,129
HE’S HERE WITH FRIENDS AND
FAMILY.
411
00:39:54,132 --> 00:39:57,201
>>> DURING THE RENAISSANCE,
MIGRANTS WERE ACTUALLY
412
00:39:57,201 --> 00:40:04,208
ENCOURAGED TO SETTLE IN LOVERNO
AND ITS REPUTATION AS A FREE
413
00:40:04,208 --> 00:40:07,778
THINKING WELCOMING CITY BY THE
SEA DREW PEOPLE FROM EUROPE AND
414
00:40:07,779 --> 00:40:12,549
BEYOND.
IN THE TOWN CENTER IS A TINY
415
00:40:12,550 --> 00:40:16,520
CENTER THAT OPENED IN 1959 AND
SELLS JUST ONE THING KNOWN AS
416
00:40:16,521 --> 00:40:23,891
THE CAKE.
IT IS A PANCAKE MADE FROM CHICK
417
00:40:23,895 --> 00:40:34,238
PEA FLOUR.
IT IS A LOCAL INSTITUTION,
418
00:40:34,238 --> 00:40:48,686
SERVING UP THE CAKE IN, WHAT
ELSE, A HUGE HUNK OF BREAD.
419
00:40:48,686 --> 00:40:52,156
>> I’LL GO FROM THIS SIDE HERE.
THIS IS GOOD.
420
00:40:52,156 --> 00:40:54,416
I LIKE THIS.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.
421
00:40:54,425 --> 00:40:57,428
AND HE SAYS THAT HE MAKES IT
BECAUSE HE LOVES IT.
422
00:40:57,428 --> 00:41:02,428
HE MAKES IT AT HOME, BUT HE
CAN’T MAKE IT AS GOOD AS THIS.
423
00:41:02,433 --> 00:41:05,033
>> YEAH.
>> AFTER THAT LITTLE APPETIZER,
424
00:41:05,036 --> 00:41:09,107
WE HEAD UP TO THE HOUSE OF ONE
OF FABIO’S FRIENDS IN THE HILLS
425
00:41:09,107 --> 00:41:12,507
ABOVE THE TOWN.
HE’S GATHERED TOGETHER THE
426
00:41:12,510 --> 00:41:25,990
INGREDIENTS FOR A CLASSIC.
HE’S MAKING A FISH STEW.
427
00:41:25,990 --> 00:41:35,366
>> THIS IS A FAKE CACCIUCCO.
I NEED TO KEEP MY VOICE DOWN SO
428
00:41:35,366 --> 00:41:40,636
THE NEIGHBORS DON’T HEAR, BUT IF
YOU ARE NOT FROM LOVERNO, YOU
429
00:41:40,638 --> 00:41:47,578
ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING
THE STEW.
430
00:41:47,578 --> 00:41:50,408
THERE IS ALWAYS THIS SORT OF
BATTLE ABOUT WHETHER YOU ARE
431
00:41:50,415 --> 00:41:54,352
FROM HERE OR FROM THERE OR FROM
THERE, WHATEVER YOU ARE MAKING,
432
00:41:54,352 --> 00:41:55,887
RIGHT?
YOU CAN MAKE THE SAME THING BUT
433
00:41:55,887 --> 00:42:01,857
YOU CAN’T CALL IT ‐‐ AND IT’S
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
434
00:42:01,859 --> 00:42:13,037
>> YEAH.
>> IT IS A RICH FISH STEW THAT
435
00:42:13,037 --> 00:42:16,937
DATES BACK 500 YEARS.
IT IS THE WAY THE FISHERMEN
436
00:42:16,941 --> 00:42:21,711
WOULD USE UP WHATEVER THEY
HADN’T SOLD THAT DAY.
437
00:42:21,712 --> 00:42:24,148
HE’S USING THIS REALLY BEAUTIFUL
FISH.
438
00:42:24,148 --> 00:42:27,818
HE’S ALSO USING LOBSTER, WHICH
IS NOT A POOR FISH, OBVIOUSLY.
439
00:42:27,819 --> 00:42:42,366
SO HE’S TAKING THIS AND SORT OF
AMPING IT UP A BIT.
440
00:42:42,366 --> 00:42:54,406
>> LIKE SO MANY ITALIAN FISHES,
THE BASE OF FABIO’S STEW IS THE
441
00:42:54,412 --> 00:43:01,282
TRUSTY TOE MATTMATOE.
SCHOLARS DATE THEIR ARRIVAL TO
442
00:43:01,285 --> 00:43:03,955
THE NOBLE MARRIAGE.
LEGEND SAYS THAT IT WAS BROUGHT
443
00:43:03,955 --> 00:43:22,675
BY NEWCOMERS FLEEING OPPRESSION.
444
00:43:27,845 --> 00:43:37,155
THEY WERE A POPULAR INGREDIENT I
DON’T THINK THE JEWS OF SOUTHERN
445
00:43:37,155 --> 00:43:50,868
EUROPE.
UNLESS YOU WANT.
446
00:43:50,868 --> 00:43:51,728
YEAH.
YEAH.
447
00:43:51,736 --> 00:43:53,704
YEAH.
I THINK SO, YEAH.
448
00:43:53,704 --> 00:43:59,911
AS THE INCREDIBLE SMELL DRIFTS
OUTSIDE, FABIO’S FRIENDS TAKE
449
00:43:59,911 --> 00:44:04,611
THEIR SEATS.
>> THE DENSITY OF THAT FLAVOR IS
450
00:44:04,615 --> 00:44:18,963
JUST ‐
451
00:44:18,963 --> 00:44:36,613
‐
>> FABIO MAY NOT BE FROM
452
00:44:36,614 --> 00:44:42,787
LOVERNO, BUT HE CAN DEFINITELY
COOK CACCIUCCO.
453
00:44:42,787 --> 00:44:48,657
THESE ARE INGREDIENTS ROOTED IN
THE POOR FISHING COMMUNITY AND
454
00:44:48,659 --> 00:44:54,359
IN LOVERNO’S IMMIGRANT PAST.
IT IS A PART OF THE HISTORY ON A
455
00:44:54,365 --> 00:44:57,602
PLATE.
AND FABIO IS NOT FINISHED.
456
00:44:57,602 --> 00:45:00,938
IN TRUE TUSCAN TRADITION,
CREATIVITY IS EVERYTHING.
457
00:45:00,938 --> 00:45:07,108
AND NOTHING GOES TO WASTE.
SO HE WHIPS UP A SECOND COURSE
458
00:45:07,111 --> 00:45:11,981
WITH THE LEFTOVER SAUCE.
>> YOU HAVE ALL THE FLAVORS OF
459
00:45:11,983 --> 00:45:16,621
THE SEA.
OTHERWISE, WHAT WOULD YOU DO
460
00:45:16,621 --> 00:45:19,290
WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL SAUCE THAT
HE HAD LEFT.
461
00:45:19,290 --> 00:45:30,300
IT ONLY MAKES SENSE.
BEST THING IN THE WORLD.
462
00:45:30,301 --> 00:45:33,471
I FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT MY
PARENTS FOLLOWED THEIR HEARTS
463
00:45:33,471 --> 00:45:37,308
AND MOVED US ACROSS THE WORLD
FOR A YEAR WHEN WE WERE JUST
464
00:45:37,308 --> 00:45:41,178
KIDS.
I SAW HOW THE FOOD OF BOTH RICH
465
00:45:41,178 --> 00:45:44,608
AND POOR CAME TOGETHER IN THIS
CORNER OF ITALY THAT’S LIKE
466
00:45:44,615 --> 00:45:48,025
NOWHERE ON EARTH.
AND NEARLY 50 YEARS LATER, I
