The Amalfi Coast

Join Katie Caldesi and her husband Giancarlo in The Amalfi Coast as they tackle the daring driving, precariously perched restaurants and hidden back alleys in search of the food that defines the area. The Amalfi coast is one of Italy’s magical spots: a sun-drenched land that looks like a glamorous film-set, bursting with lemon trees, breath-taking scenery and food fit for a king.

From Positano to Ravello, be inspired by Katie’s recipes, as well as the quirky locals she meets along the way. Feast on crispy pizza garnished with clouds of creamy mozzarella and fresh basil, delicious pastas drenched with tomato sauce and fresh seafood, and homemade tarts that taste like they’re straight out of nonna’s kitchen.
