Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire
Season 5
Episode 513
Chestnuts have been a food source for thousands of years. They can be eaten raw, roasted, ground into flour, or mixed into pastries. In times of famine in Western Europe, it was the chestnut and its flour that saved many from starvation. Christina travels to the town of Pratalecchia in Tuscany that has produced chestnuts for centuries, where she harvests and cooks with this amazing ancient food.
