Seven programmes on the food of the Mediterranean, introduced and narrated by cookery writer
Claudia Roden
1: Egypt
The tour starts in Claudia Roden 's country of origin. The tastes and smells of Egyptian food instantly evoke her childhood memories - fish, straight out of the sea in Alexandria, fresh country bread cooked in stone ovens, the heady aroma of spices which pervades Cairo's Khanel-Khalili bazaar, and the fascinating variety of street food. Meet a talented home cook, a chef at a top hotel and a cookery journalist, who demonstrate their favourite traditional dishes using the very best of Mediterranean ingredients.
