Lidia's Italy

Serendipitous Celery (#224)

It's off to Puglia, where Lidia visits with Chef Zito of the restaurant Antichi Sapore to do some wild herb foraging in the Masseria. Back in the kitchen, Lidia pays homage to Chef Zito by recreating three of his signature dishes: celery chutney, baked onions from Acquaviva, and bucatini with toasted breadcrumbs.
