March 13 - 19, 2022 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • 19 tastytv BY GEORGE DICKIE Cable and streaming offer a feast of Italian food knowledge As winter drags on, getting away to a gastronomic paradise like Italy has a lot of appeal. And for those who want to and can't, a number of upcoming and current offerings can show what it's all about. Few do this better than "Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy." Launching its second season Sunday, March 13, on CNN, the series follows the Emmy- winning, Oscar-nominated actor as he embarks on his personal quest across across the "Bel Paese" to understand the country's history and culture through food and meet the people and listen to the stories behind the world's most popular cuisine. In Sunday's opener, he heads to the "Floating City" of Venice to meet the locals and learn how they have embraced the delights and challenges posed by its unique geographic location. The aquatic surroundings have spawned world-class produce, and those who live and visit there enjoy a fascinating food culture that has centuries-old influences from around the world. At this writing, few other details were available on the new season, other than it will air in two parts, the second being in the fall, and that one stop will be in Umbria, home of the country's more traditional fare. But that's merely an appetizer for the volume of Italian food knowledge that can be had on streaming. So consider the following the main course, dessert and after-dinner aperitif. "Giada in Italy" (discovery+): Rome-born Giada De Laurentiis brings her family on the vacation of a lifetime in Florence, where she prepares authentic recipes in an outdoor kitchen overlooking the city. It also serves as a base from which to embark on culinary adventures in places such as Sorrento, Milan, Positano and the island of Capri. "Gino's Italian Escape" (Tubi): Italian chef and TV personality Gino D'Acampo ("Gordon, Gino & Fred's Road Trip") is your host for this culinary odyssey through his home country, in which he discovers the secrets of I talian cuisine in places ranging from coastal villages to major cities like Rome and Naples. "A Taste of Italy" (Acorn TV, Spectrum): British chef Nisha Katona takes viewers to locations throughout the country to discover the culinary gems hidden there. Among the locales she visits are Orvieto, the Umbrian village where she tries her hand at drunk chicken; Livorno, the Tuscan port town where she makes fish stew with white wine and fennel; and Catania, where she samples tuna sausage and swordfish parmigiana. "Finding Little Italy" (Pluto): Similarly, this British series eschews the big cities like Rome and Venice for what it calls "the real Italy," the little towns and villages that have a long history of culinary mastery. So climb aboard host Luke Darracott's Vespa for a trek to places like Liguria, Toscana, Lazio, Umbria and Emilia.
