Bonacini's Italy S01E08 - Piemonte

Episode Overview

The Piemonte region of Italy, nestled between France and Switzerland, has a unique culinary influence. To start, host Michael Bonacini prepares a delightful oil fondue known as Bagna Cauda, featuring seasonal vegetables like licorice fennel, zesty endive, and tender zucchini, enhanced by preserved anchovies for added depth. For his first course, he crafts a creamy Mushroom Risotto using Arborio rice, mushrooms, and truffles sourced from the local terrain. Next, he showcases two culinary staples of Piemonte: succulent beef and Barolo wine, with a flavorful braise of beef shoulder in Barolo, infused with a blend of aromatic herbs. To conclude the meal, Michael serves a rich Chestnut Panna Cotta, rounding out his hearty Piemonte feast.
