The Sunny Kitchen - An Italian cook in Amsterdam

New cooking show on Italian TV: my own :)

Since May 2 I have my very own cooking show on Gambero Rosso Channel, Italy's first and biggest food channel.
It's called "La Cucina degli Altri" (other people's cuisines) and it's about world cooking, one of my culinary passions.
Up to now we've recorded 40 episodes on the Mexican, Chinese, Turkish, Japanese and Persan cuisine and I enjoy myself immensely every time I'm in Rome to work in the Gambero Rosso studios.

It's a marvellous experience that gives me the chance to learn even more about my beloved "World Cuisine" and to meet great chefs from all over the planet.
For example Diana Beltrán of Mexican restaurant "La Cucaracha" in Rome, chef Kam Kwan Fong (Rita Fong) of Chinese restaurant "Lon Fon" in Milan and chef Hossein of Iranian's restaurant "Kabab" in Rome (here you can see me working with them on the set).

La Cucina degli Altri can be seen all over the world (it's in Italian, though).
If you have a satellite antenna tune in on Sky, channel 411.
The show is on-air 3 times a day, from Monday to Friday, at 10.30, 14.30 and 23.00 CET, and you can watch the promo below.

You can also follow me on Facebook.

See you on Gambero Rosso Channel! :)

 

 

 

 

Interview on "Buongiorno Europa", Italian television, Feb. 21st, 2010

An interesting program on national Italian television last Sunday (in Italian, no subtitles) about Italian food in Europe and the rest of the world.
With info on real and fake Italian food, for example Parma ham made with Dutch pork legs cured in Italy and then shipped all over the world as "Italian" product and "Asiago" cheese produced in Wisconsin (!!!) plus lots of other stuff like that.
From minute 2.31 an interview with yours truly about Italian food in Holland made by Valentina David of Rai Tre. I had a lot of fun and the nicest part was going to Dutch supermarkets to find fake Italian stuff. :)

Buona visione!
