Description
Summary:What do the spirited and robust scores of Italian opera and the infinite joys of the country's food have in common? Rick Stein finds out in this entertaining special. Rossini, Puccini and Verdi were all passionate about the delights of the dining table: Puccini loved the simple dishes from his native Tuscany; Verdi had his own farm; and many extravagant recipes are named after Rossini. Looking at these three great Italian composers and talking to academics, singers and conductors, Rick uncovers the deep relationship between creativity and convivial cuisine.
