The diverse Calabrian landscape makes for a variety of unique dishes. Captivating host Michael Bonacini starts by making Stuffed Focaccia bread featuring two of the region's specialties: Ca-ciocavallo cheese and cured Soppressata meat. Next up, Michael makes a spicy Calabrian-style Tuna inspired by the coastline of Calabria. Then, Michael treks into the Sila region of Calabria where dense woods and snow-capped peaks influence the Calabrian love for pork. Cooked low and slow with starchy potatoes and woodsy mushrooms, this secondo is warm, hearty, and delicious. For Michael's dolce, a sumptuous cake with the sweet, fresh taste of orange called Ciambella All'Arancia.
