I watched this Alison and really enjoyed it. I hadn't realised he would be such a good presenter, well imho he was. I was beginning to think it was cookery travel type programmes I had gone off as I am really fed up with Rick Stein, not keen on the Spice men, JO, etc.

He now joins the likes of Levi Roots, Reza Mahammad and Rachel Khoo (I just love her enthusiasm and how she cooks in that miniscule kitchen ) and Valentine Warner as chefs I like to watch.

evening all....back again.....had an onboard ethernet card take a nasty dump and it took time to get a new card but we are back again....

i completely enjoyed Gino...seems like a different person out side the studio....really enjoyed the recipes too...i had better luck finding them at stv.tv but i got them so i was happy

on the cocktail one....can anyone tell me what kind of glasses he used and how big (volume wise) are they?? here is a picture

Hi Mark, glad you enjoyed it to. I think he is better outside the studio too

Not really sure about the champagne flutes but I think they might be approx 142 mL.

As to the Limoncello, I don't really know which is the best, especially what is available in America. Maybe this would help http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/479033

I enjoyed this programme too. I normally find Gino a bit OTT in the studio but he was great on this! Looking forward to the rest of the series now

dena

thanks for the link.....somehow the idea of "lemon pledge flavoured": limoncello does not sound inviting at all.....i did find some recipes to make homemade stuff....sounded really simple and quite tasty too....

I really enjoyed the programme!

There are episodes here, if anyone has missed any of them and there are recipes on the website.
