would learn to make different recipes, and i loved it. my mother soon found the key that unlocked so much of italian cooking. simple combination of carrots, celery and onions, fried up together, it s called the sofrito. looking good, would you thinks? yeah it s good. throw the tomato? it s the base of countless italian dishes, including today s offering. a tucci family favorite called salsa maria rosa. now but some water. it s a delicious vegetable sauce and we named it after a beloved neighbor here in florence, you showed mom how to make it all those years ago. in the fine tradition of to scan home cooking, it s cheap, nutritious and full of tomato. i make it quite often. do you? yeah, of course. course yeah, the kids love it but here s the thing, every time another comes to visit,
for something just like them. it reflected murdoch and roger ailes political views. fox becomes a rocketship. as the empire grows, there is a lot of natural speculation about the succession. all three murdoch children, coming into their own as executives. that is when the question begins about who will it be? i have driven in italy quite a bit. but i did say to one guy when i was doing a movie, i said, it s very interesting, people don t really stop at stop lights that much. and he goes, no, no, no. the stop light is just a suggestion. there s nowhere on earth quite like tuscany. the land is idyllic, the art is divine and the food is out of this world.
oh, my god. it just melts in your mouth. i m stanley tucci, i m fascinated by my italian heritage. so, i m travelling across italy to discover how the food, in each of this country s twenty regions, is as unique as the people and their past. the creations of famous tuscans are known the world over. michaelangelo, i think if he were to come back today, he d be able to walk around florence. it hasn t changed. but it s the hands of the ordinary people. we fold it like this. that have crafted the incredible food here. it s like a christmas in your mouth. yeah. this is a place built on human ingenuity, mind-boggling riches and an insane amoutn of bread. i really don t know how. it s delicious but so hot. all great love affairs start
he hurries us past any food that hasn t had a pulse. and we head up to his hideaway on the roof where he does his cooking. oh my god, come on! we re starting with the chianina beef, the medici family favorite. this cattle has grazed in tuscan fields for 2000 years. they re of such high quality that we re eating it raw. oh, my god! that s the best sushi i ve ever had! and now, the main event. so what he s doing now it s that it s the family secret, beside excessive amounts of salt, for a branch like this,
some of the greatest treasures on earth and some pretty good food to. it s so good. for me, it was the start of a lifelong love affair with italy. chees. cheers. thank. you thank you. the florence. thank you cheers. a once in a generation leap for the iphone camera. the most advanced display in a smartphone.
