Sophie Grigson: Slice of Italy FOOD FROM 9PM, FOOD NETWORK, DISCOVERY+
In June 2019, faced with an empty nest, writer and celebrity cook Sophie Grigson squeezed almost everything she owned into her car, left her home in Oxford and headed to Puglia, the area that makes up the heel of Italy’s ‘boot’. Now, having found a new home in the historic town of Ceglie Messapica, Sophie shares the food and the culture of the area, which is known for its whitewashed hill towns, centuries-old farmland and nearby Mediterranean coastline. In each episode of this series, she shops locally to make some of Puglia’s most delicious seasonal dishes. Along the way, we also learn about Puglia’s people, traditions and landscape. ★★★★ NC
