A Taste of the Sun: Siena

Gino travels through the spectacular landscape of Tuscany. He is eager to experience the glorious, timeless city of Siena. Gino is drawn to this unique place, especially its famous sloping Piazza del Campo and its magnificent gothic cathedral, whose beauty leaves Gino mesmerised. Siena is renowned for its ‘panforte' - a rich, spiced fruit and nut cake that originated in the area during the 13th century. He is invited to taste this ancient Christmas cake and although initially apprehensive, Gino is inspired by its exciting flavour combinations. He decides to create his own chocolate version of panforte, on a terrace overlooking the striking cathedral. Next, Gino travels through the areas rolling hills to visit a group of Benedictine monks. He arrives at their abbey to the sound of beautiful Gregorian chanting and is blown away by the beautiful, haunting sound. Following the service, Gino is keen to find out more about the monks' way of life. The monks invite Gino on a tour of their vast vineyard and allow him to sample their locally produced Tuscan red wine. Gino is so impressed that he uses the wine to makes his final dish - juicy, marinated beef skewers and a delectable three-bean salad.
