Join Paola Bacchia as she traverses the Adriatic coast of Italy, from the ornate and sophisticated historic cities of Trieste and Venice in the north to the rolling hills of Abruzzo and the white-washed walls of Otranto in Puglia‘s south.

Against a backdrop of crystalline waters, Paola explores the ancient towns and dishes that make this area unique, where rustic and simple cooking are at its heart and where the local produce – olive oil, seafood, vegetables and citrus – are woven into the landscape.

Paola Bacchia was born to Italian migrant parents and into their food culture. Through her recipes, stories, travels and photography, she explores the connection between family memories and food.
