Simply Sweet

Season 6 Episode 612

In Puglia, eating locally means using foods produced town by town to create your pantry, fridge and eating style. Today, we head to Alberobello, famous for fairy-like houses known as trulli, but for me, the best part is their almonds and figs. I can’t wait to show you this town and create some fabulous sweets as we live our healthiest lives.
