eat. In the first of the series, the greedy cooks eat their
way around Emilia Romagna, home of parma ham and parmesan
cheese, to find out if food and family are still at the
heart of Italian life. To begin, they spend an enjoyable
Sunday lunch with a traditional Italian family whose
fortunes ferment with the balsamic vinegar in their vaults.
For the daughters, weekends are dominated by the loving

feisty female crime journalist whose life does not revolve
around cooking and a fast food tortellini millionaire whose
livelihood depends upon these changing lifestyles
