S3 Ep3: Emiko Davies

This week Adam is in Italy and sits down with cook book author, food journalist and business owner Emiko Davies in San Miniato, 40 minutes’ drive from Florence!

Sitting in the centuries old building that is now home to Enoteca Marilu – Emiko and her husband Marco’s shop and kitchen – Adam and Emiko discuss what drew her to Italy, the importance of heirloom recipes and the hilarious story behind her grandmother’s iconic pineapple custard tart.

The three bakes discussed in this episode include:

• The aforementioned Pineapple Custard Tart
• Torta con i ciccioli
• Crostata di Marmellata
