A quick reminder that Sophie will be appearing with Stanley Tucci this Sunday October 23 at 9:00pm EST on CNN on Searching for Italy. For now it’s available only live so I hope you tune in! When it becomes available for streaming, I’ll post here.
Sophie takes Stanley (I guess we’re on first name basis now?) through Bari. So it should look familiar if you follow Sophie on Instagram or TikTok. It’s many of the same places we visit during our food tours.
If this all makes you hungry and want to visit Puglia with Sophie, I’ll be posting new dates for 2024 soon in the premium version of my newsletter. and then, a few days later, here.
We have the second series on BBC2 here in the UK
How exciting! Can’t wait to watch. 🇮🇹☺️
Very excited to see her on the show. Sophie did a fantastic job. She was so professional and natural. Beautiful! It’s a joy to watch that show and Sophie’s sparkle made it even better. We had to run out and get the only olive oil from Puglia we could find and ate it with Italian bread, wine, and burrata while watching more recorded episodes.
Aw, thank you!
The Italian side of my family originated all in the Puglia region around Bari. I enjoyed this episode but wish they could have featured “taralli” and also something I grew up on: “cialedda”. We still eat both of these to this day.
I was born and raised in California. My grandparents came to the San Joaquin Valley of California in 1914.
Given the time limitations I think they actually chose well. There are so many different things they could have featured, but they also wanted to highlight people.
