Venice
Sunday 8th August 8 pm More4
Venice is not famous for its food, much of which has been spoilt by tourism, but Jamie goes off the tourist track to find the real regional food of Venice, rice, polenta, seafood and fresh vegetables. He meets aristocrats in a palazzo and the lady prisoners who are growing vegetables behind bars in Guidecca. He learns at the feet of the Risotto King and goes fishing for sweet prawns with some venetian fishermen. He cooks Spaghetti Vongole, 3 Blinding Risottos, Chocolately Tiramisu, Classic Minestrone Soup, and Beef Carpaccio with Bellini.
