Tradition
christina cooks: back to the cutting board

If there's one thing Italians love, it's tradition; either revering it...or breaking it. Tradition gives us a foundation to fly; to create; to build on wisdom. Today, we'll build on my Nonna's traditional sweet holiday pastry and visit Altamura to discover one of the most beautiful Pugliese traditional breads...focaccia! Recipes: Pastiera; Focaccia

Duration: 26 minutes and 45 seconds

Episode Number: 606
