Bonacini's Italy (2018)

S1E15 Trentino-Alto Adige

Nestled in northeastern Italy, the stunning Dolomite mountains are home to the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Chef Michael Bonacini kicks off his culinary journey in his kitchen by preparing a delightful starter featuring asparagus drizzled with a rich, tangy egg sauce. He then highlights the area's culinary ties to Austria with a robust bread dumpling, complemented by the Italian take on sauerkraut. Michael continues with a delectable main course of quail, stuffed with sausage, cabbage, and apples, paired with plums simmered in red wine and spices. To finish, he presents a beloved local treat: apple cake, infused with cinnamon and almond, a cherished recipe found in homes throughout the region.
