A Taste of the Sun: Florence

Chef Gino D'Acampo begins his second Italian Escape in beautiful Florence. He's on a mission to examine the food that has shaped this Renaissance city. His journey begins as he tackles the famous ‘bistecca alla Fiorentina' - the finest, thickest, juiciest steak in Tuscany. He is excited to grill the colossal cut of beef at a local restaurant and - naturally - has to savour its delicious flavour. Enthused by the mouth-watering steak, Gino shows off his take on this dish - tagliata - sliced T-bone steak with a colourful courgette ribbon and goat's cheese salad. Before leaving the city, Gino encounters a historic speciality - ‘lampredotto'. This popular Florentine street food is made from cow's stomach - but is Gino is game for eating it? Satisfied with Florence's best savoury food, Gino heads to the town of Prato for something sweeter. Here, he meets a pastry chef who thrills Gino with his speciality ‘peaches' - brioche buns with an aromatic, creamy filling. Inspired by his delightful discovery, Gino conjures up his own dessert of apple poached in red wine with amaretti biscuit cream.

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
