Introducing Vanessa

Vanessa Gianfrancesco is our talented Italian chef on One World Kitchen. In her début episode, she makes a traditional Italian four-course meal in her colourful culinary studio. For the antipasto, she makes tarali-a fennel scented dough rolled into bite size pieces and baked to a golden brown. For her primi course-a flavourful Tuscan bean soup with kale, Italian sausage, cannellini beans and, of course, parmigiano reggiano. A marinated grilled chicken with roasted potatoes is on the menu for her secondi course, and the dish sings with lemon, rosemary and a sweet hint of creamy garlic. To finish: the dolce (something sweet). Vanessa shows us how to make the creamiest of frozen custards, a chocolate semifreddo. Fluffy yet dense with a hint of hazelnut, it is the perfect way to end this beautiful Italian meal.
