In this episode, chef Missy Robbins, authors Kristina Gill and Laura Lazzaroni and dried pasta impresario Massimo Mancini--four of our favorite pasta authorities--demystify, educate and share important pasta tips from all around Italy that will get you in the kitchen and dreaming of travels to come.  https://www.silversea.com/lp-podcasts.html

For part two of our visit to Regaleali, the magnificent Tasca family estate in the heart of Sicily, we visit and cook with the inimitable Fabrizia Lanza at Case Vecchie, where her mother, the legendary Anna Tasca Lanza founded the singular cooking school that bears her name. With characteristic wit, grace and authority Fabrizia teaches us about Sicilian cake with a unique filling and caviar that doesn't come from a fish. She shares her emotional story of leaving home and ultimately returning, and reveals what it's like to carry on her mother's legacy while also forging her own path as one of Sicily's most important and enduring culinary voices.  https://www.silversea.com/lp-podcasts.html
