NEVEN’S ITALIAN FOOD TRAILS (New series, programme three)
THURSDAY OCTOBER 19th 2017, RTÉ ONE, 7pm

Programme three: Modena

Pisa may have the most famous leaning tower in the world, but Modena has a beautiful Church which also boasts a leaning tower, next to the covered market where Neven tastes six-year-old parmesan cheese and 25-year-old balsamic vinegar.
Balsamic vinegar is only produced in a tightly defined area around Modena and Neven visits producer Antica Acetaia Dodi to see how it’s made.

As well as food, Modena is famous for sports cars with Ferraris and Maseratis  produced nearby. Neven fulfils every little boy’s dream as he is driven around a race track by Ferrari driver Pietro Gandolfi and afterwards samples Gnocco Fritto, a street food favourite in Modena. .
Neven ends with the programme with Michelin star chef Luca Marchini who gives Neven a masterclass in making risotto with parmesan.

FULL RELEASE BELOW:
In his brand new six part series, Neven’s Italian Food Trails, Neven Maguire travels from Venice on the Adriatic Coast, to Sorrento on the Mediterranean, visiting Parma, Modena, Florence and Tuscany.
Along the way, Ireland’s hugely popular chef learns about some of the wonderful food and drink that have made Italian cuisine so popular around the world, including parmesan cheese, pasta, Parma ham, Prosecco, olive oil, coffee and Chianti.

Neven enjoys street food beside a race track, he is shown how to cook the perfect risotto by a Michelin star chef , and he is taught how to make the perfect cappuccino by Italy’s champion barista.
But Neven’s brand new series is not all about food – he takes some interesting trips as well: a water taxi up the Grand Canal, a microlight flight over Parma, truffle-hunting in Tuscany and a spin round a race track in a Ferrari.
And of course throughout this new six part series, Neven demonstrates some recipes inspired by his journey, including a classic Ragu, a Peach and Amaretti Cake, Chicken wrapped in Parma Ham, and Chocolate and Hazelnut Semi-freddo.
