Puglia

In this episode...

After exploring Calabria, Adam heads to Puglia, known as the ‘Garden of Italy’. Puglia is made of rolling plains and fertile soil, and is ideal farming land for vineyards, olive orchards and growing grain for pasta, and provides 75% of Italy’s fruit and vegetables. Orecchiette is the definitive Puglian pasta, and there is competition between Puglian towns as to who has the best Orecchiette recipe. Adam visits local pasta producers and chefs to learn about some different sauces, and demonstrates how fresh, healthy Puglian pasta recipes can be easily made in the Australian kitchens.
