Each of the 6
episodes sees Jamie in a new town and facing a new challenge. The
locals unimpressed by Jamie’s celebrity status do not always
appreciate his take on Italian cuisine. The big lesson learnt about
Italian cooking is simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! Pick a flavor
and a region and stick to it. The food that is cooked is beautiful,
full of fresh ingredients and simple flavors. Jamie’s Italian Escape
will most defiantly inspire all viewers to make the trip to this
fabulous country. From experience I know that even with all the
history, the beautiful scenery and the high fashion, the main thing
that will stay with any visitor after the have left is the memory of
the food.
This is Jamie at his most relaxed, free from
the
pressure of the restaurant and away from the prying eyes of the British
paparazzi. He gets back to his love of food, drinking and interacting
with the locals. Watch as he completes against the own towns nonnas in
a pasta rolling competition, catches the local fish and hunts his own
meat.
Be warned this involves watching wild boar be hunted and Jamie
cutting the neck of a lamb, a task he struggles with. This may offend
some viewers however as Jamie says if you want to eat meat you have to
be prepared to se where it comes from. This all ties in with Jamies
goal of educating the public about fresh ad healthy foods.
Overall
this DVD while only short (6 episodes with no extra), is a great way to
relax and take yourself on an overseas journey right from your lounge
room. Be inspired to create delicious fresh dishes and take in a
culture that not only has food as a necessity but celebrates it.
EXTRAS
There's
nothing in the way of extras here - with only Jamie's adventure on
offer to entice viewers. But it's a great bit of viewing, so I think we
can safely reccomend this one.
