Lidia's Italy

From Wine to Chocolate (Valle D'aosta) (3x13)

Air date: Nov 28, 2009

Hearty foods dominate this mountainous landscape and are interestingly paired with high quality French-style wines. Valle d'Aosta exemplifies true border cuisine. In this episode, Lidia will visit with her dear friends at Les Cretes winery, whose roots go back to the 1700s and are descendants of the original owner who came to Italy from France. The hearty food prepared in this episode includes Polenta with White Beans and Black Kale; a Beef Fillet with Wine Sauce and a scrumptious Chocolate Biscotti Pudding.
