While David Rocco is not a chef, he is Italian, and he gained an appreciation for the simple and delicious foods his heritage is famous for by learning about them at the side of his mother in their Toronto kitchen. Far from there, Rocco acts as a guide to everything Italian in this series, which is shot in Florence, Sicily and the Amalfi Coast, and features the Canadian-born host cooking classic recipes inspired by "cucina povera," or peasant cuisine. These dishes feature fresh, seasonal ingredients and are easy enough for home chefs to prepare.
