Here he meets some of the island s most celebrated chefs and food producers and discovers what akes the food uniquely Corsican.In Mallorca, Yotam searches for authentic local cuisine, discovering wonderful ingredients including ruby red prawns- the star ingredient in his deconstructed paella.

In the ancient capital of Heraklion, he makes a variation of the Cretan meze dakos, a marriage of tomatoes, crumbled feta, olives and oregano. And deep into the Cretan heartland he prepares a feast of spit-roasted pork souvlaki, served with his twist on tzatziki.Yotam travels to Sardinia to explore the island s unique food traditions and flavours. In the beautiful fishing port of Bosa,he cooks one of the Mediterranean s greatest gifts: freshly caught lobster roasted on an open fire. Leaving the coast behind he travels deep into Sardinia s rugged heartland, to share a meal of pit-roasted lamb and a salad of figs and roasted radicchio, with three generations of shepherds.
