In this programme, set in Puglia, Antonio visits the town of Ostuni where the public oven is still used for baking bread on a daily basis. Antonio makes Pane Casereccui - his version of Pugliese bread, with pieces of Cheese and Salami kneaded in. He then goes to the Masseria San Domenico. At a luxury hotel, he cooks a dish of Cavatelli pasta with Mussels (Cavatelli Con Le Cozze). Next, he goes to a sun-dried tomato farm where acres of tomatoes are drying in the sunshine. He makes rolled tomatoes stuffed with capers, olives, anchovy and basil which he gives to the family of the farm to try.
About Antonio Carluccio's Southern Italian Feast
Antonio Carluccio, the godfather of Italian gastronomy, travels through Southern Italy sampling and cooking the region's specialities. His tour takes him from Sardinia to Sicily and from Campania to Calabria, with visits to Rome, Puglia and Basilicata. Among the treats in store are an impromptu barbecue in a vineyard, a shepherd's feast in the Barbagia Mountains, a Neapolitan pizza-making class, a moonlit octopus-fishing trip and a San Lorenzo's night grill for ten men called Lorenzo.
