Islands in the Sun: Sardinia - Gino's Home From Home
Having made Sardinia his home from home for the past three years, Gino is keen to explore this beautiful island through its food, people and unique landscape. He learns about the national iconic dish, roasted suckling pig, and hosts a traditional Italian festa for his closest island friends. Then he sets off across the North of the island, and visits Alghero, a medieval walled town on the North West coast. Influenced by the Spanish, he experiences its architecture and of course, the food. He ends his visit by catching a boat to a cave network 20 minutes across the bay for a truly spectacular end to his first few days exploring this island.
Islands in the Sun: Unlocking the Secrets of Sardinia
Gino leaves the coast behind and heads deep into the mountains, to unlock the secrets to Sardinia. The island is home to more 100 year olds than any other, and it's all down to its landscape and diet. He visits the town of Orgosolo, made famous by the abundance of murals on the walls, depicting its proud history. Gino whips up a hearty rustic pasta dish, using traditional but simple ingredients, and serves it to his new found friends.
Islands in the Sun: Southern Sardinia - Celebrate the Sea
Gino is back on the road again, leaving the mountains and heading south to the coast and the capital of Sardinia. On his way he takes a fishing trip and learns how fishing in the deep blue waters runs a close run, second to farming on this island. He then visits the bustling capital city of Cagliari, where he is introduced to the unique textures that the locals use to enhance their fish dishes. After a whistle stop shop at Europe's largest covered market, he makes his way to the magical ancient site of Nora, where he cooks a succulent tuna dish, as the sun sets over the ruins.

Home of the mafia, a vibrant street food culture and rich history, this portside city stops Gino in his tracks.
