Bonjour! Bonjour!

Yes, I'm in France! And no, I haven't lost myself!

I'm here

because from the lovely city of Breil-Sur-Roya

You can travel to Italiade a form

I had never tried:

On one of the most spectacular train journeys in the world!

I haven't got up to a train for more than 15 years.

And above it is a French train.

Oh no!It is an Italian train.Yes!

I am from the south, from Naples.

But now I'm going to explore the north of Italy.

The views are extraordinary.

From the rugged peaks the Alps

to the soft hills of the Tuscany;

From lakes the size of a Marhasta Shakespearian cities.

And here, the only way to travel by train.

Next stop: Turin.

An area with a reputation of having a railway networks

more picturesthats in the world.

This is a pass!

And on the way I will prepare delicious recipes

with my personal touch.

This is how you do it.

Here you have! Health!

Come with me in this train for Italy!

"Gino's trip in the express".

This is the iconic railway line of trend.

It was inaugurated in 1928,

And it is one of the ten most beautiful train journeys in the world.

Behold!The views are crazy.

That's why you have to travel by train!

The line begins in Nice

and make a stop here, in Breil-sur-Roya,

Before entering Italy via Turin.

Crossing the Alps,

Cross the bordercon the Piedmont region,

And this is going to be my first stop: the city of Cneo.

The railroad revolutionized the life of these alpine communities.

It took more than 40 years to build,

drilling the mountains to create more than one hundred tunnels.

It is a line little known to tourists,

But, for the locals

It is an incredible way to get to work.

Does the French and Italians take this line?

Exact.

And there are no fights or anything? Nothing fights.

Limone, we are already! Italy, yes.

Ah...!I feel more relaxed.

You feel better, huh!

I'm already seeing signs in Italian and Italian people.

Finally, after a one hundred kilometers project

I am on doll.

We are in the Piedmont region,

that, translated into Spanish,

It means that we are fair foot of a mountain.

I mean, I would be the foot...And that's the mountain.

The charming medievalde city Cuneo

It is known as the "green capital" of Piedmont,

It is surrounded by some of the most fertile ballasts in Italy.

And for a gastronomy lover, it is mandatory stop.

This region is the cradle of two my favorite things in life:

One is the Nutella chocolate cream,

And the other is the Barolo wine,

Also known in Italy...

Like the "King of Wines".

It is so important in this area

that can even be purchased at the churches.

Health!

On the outskirts of Cuneo,

The fields are covered with barolo vine.

The locals have always venerated the barolo,

As if it were a God with healing powers.

And I understand...

that doctors here...

They even prescribe the sick and pregnant women.

Hello.Hello.

How are you very well, thanks.

Pretty horse.Yes.

Beautiful.It is my assistant.

Your assistant? On the visits, yes.

Roberto Alfonso is a kind of local hero:

He is the only doctor to Cabalode Italy!

Which is mine?

Yours is that.Voucher.

How nice.And what's his name?

Asia.It's called Asia.

Asia.Very well.Hi cute!

How beautiful! I think I like it!

Doctor, I love Asia.

The vallelespor those that ride Roberto

To visit their patients are so beautiful

that UNESCO has given them the title of World Heritage.

Have you given me the slightest horse?

Arre, Asia!

Asia is so quiet that I don't think I will need a helmet!

More slowly, Roberto!

Is eating!

Doctor!

Come on, Asia! Asia!

Asia!

This tiny corner of Piedmont

It is the only place in the world where Barolo wine occurs:

There are only 11 authorized communes to produce it.

And the first patient of the day

He is the owner of a little and remote Viñedo de Barolo.

This is the parking lot and they let us park for free.

Now, when they see me on Pieme they ask where the horse is.

Horse..., Already.

Go to see a patient on horseback a very important detail,

because the patient stops thinking about their ailments

And he concentrates on the horsey in the calm that transmits.

For Roberto,

It's like a way to break the ice with the patient.

Provided that a patient is going to see his horse,

The first thing they ask is: where is the horse?.

I think without the horse would be so good doctor.

Hello.Hello.

-Hello. Hello.

Roberto visits Adele and Marcotodas the weeks,

Why do it find it difficult to go city medical center.

I feel here.Voucher...

Yes, confía en mí.You calm, okay?just relax.

¿Puedo hacerlo yo?Yes,..okay.

Do I give it? Very good.

Voucher.Of blood pressure, you are very good.

Perfect.Perfect.

-Then it's okay?

It still has a hundred years of life.

I mean..., that you calm.

Among other things,

The doctor has prescribed red wine some slices of salami.

He is the best doctor in the world!

But, the barolo is not the only native product in the area:

This is the only place in the world

in which Nociola Piemonte is grown,

A hazelnut used to make chocolate and chocolate cream.

It implies working all year...

Already, all year.

Yours, when you retire,

is to grow hazelnuts because you don't have to do much.

But, if what you want is old,

You have to have a vineyard.

Do you notice chocolate and coffee aroma?

Is incredible.

With all the chocolate factories around here,

The air is full of smoke

And in winter, a fog forms...

Know Chocolate!

Roberto and his mount continuesu Ronda at his usual pace,

While I'm going home to cook.

Inspired by the hazelnuts,

I'm going to make a delicious chocolate cheese cake.

By medical prescription!

It is an extremely easy recipe,

And I want everyone to make it at home.

The first thing is to make a cape of cookies.

You can use any tipode cookie.

These have chocolate pepitas.

Puedenokayr,pero también valdrían otras.

Now, the kitchen robot echoed them.

So...

What we are looking for is a fine crumb.

Well crushed!

We add molten butter.

Fix...

If you can take your hands...

And kneading it without getting rid, it means that it is already.

We press the mixture in a non -stick cake mold

And we leave it 15 minutes in the fridge.

Now let's talk about cheese of chocolate cream.

I'm going to start with cheese.

We can use mascarpone.

And we add vanilla extract...

That's it.

Then we are going to add icing sugar,

And we are going to mix everything well.

So...

That the sugar on icing and the vanillase mix well with the cheese.

And now, we are going to throw it chocolate cream.

Indoors.

The one who invented chocolate cream with hazelnut

It's a genius!

Voucher...

Now, we are going to throw cocoa powder.

I'm going to use cocoa powder

Because I want to give a bitterness of chocolate.

If not, it's going to be too sweet.

Voucher,el cacao en polvo está mezclado.

The base of the cheese cake has been in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Make sure it is well curdled.So...

This is achieved thanks to butter.

And now, we put the cream on top of the cookie base

that we just prepared.

With some taps, we make sure that there are no air bubble.

Look, approach you.

This is the consistency that we are looking for.

Do you see it?Slightly trembling.

Now, we are going to leave it in the refrigerator for at least six hours.

While the cheese cake in the fridge,

We elaborate a glaseadocon vanilla extract,

Chocolate and cream cream we put on the cake.

Finally, we add some chopped roasted hazelnuts,

To give it the taste of the Piedmont.

We turn the mold...And ready.

Mirad: the cookie layer, the chocolate layer,

And above, the glaze and the hazelnuts.

Guys, are you ready?

Roberto, are you ready?

Yes, claro.

This beautiful lady, who is she?

But Bokuto Would Still Know.His face would look awful and swollen, and he was like After Making Him realize it… https: // t.CO/R3NAFMAIQB

It's a fan of yours.

Do not tell me! as it is called?

Kate is one of Roberto's patients

who fell in love with this region more than 30 years ago.

I've tried it and it works.

Works?

In this area, Barolono wine is one more wine:

is the blood of the region.

Here you are, Roberto.

Can I say a curse in your program?

You can say what you want!

Voucher:¡pues es una puñetera maravilla!

I leave behind the city of Cuneoy I get to the train again

To travel the final stretch of the trend line.

Next stop: Turin.

This section will take me 100 kilometers north,

even a city that I can't miss.

Turin, and that marks the term of the line.

The Piedmont region is the largest follow -up in Italy,

After Sicily,

And in his day, it was the most powerful religion in Europe;

More than anything, because formerly, Turin was the capital of Italy.

Today Turin is famous for two things:

for housing Fiat headquarters

And because here "The Italian Job" was shot.

But its wide boulevards and majestic squares

They are a testimony of their passageway as a center of politics.

The route in Roman Damero de Turin

It makes it a perfect city to explore it by car.

In a Fiat 500, how not.

Carlo is a member of the Classic Fiat Model Owners

And it takes me to go around Turin,

in the style of "The Italian Job".

Carlo? It's me.Hi, Gino!

What happened! Hello, welcome.

How do you?.

I am very excited.

Doesn't you have a belt? No, no...

No belt, huh? Without belt.Does not exist.

That last.Do we have air conditioning?

¡Yes!

Ah..., el techo solar!Voucher.

Carlo was telling me

that today Turin is very different from what he was before.

In his day, it was a more important industrial city.

Not so much today, but there are many universities

And culturally, it is still very important in Italy.

If I'm honest,

I didn't remember Turinfuera so pretty.

It is an incredible city.

This is...San Carlo Square.

Ah, aquí fue donde se filmó"The italian job"!

Yes.

We are literally following

The steps of the movie "The Italian Job"!

That last!

This barothat square was the decoration

of one of the most memorable scenes in the film.

Are you really going to enter there? Seriously?

You are bad in the head!

You are crazy!

Fiat 500 was born in 57, ten years after the war...

At the end of World War II,

Everyone moved on a motorcycle or bike;

And this was probably the first car of the time

that was very affordable

And it was what he really could on wheel to Italy.

It gave the Italians the opportunity to expand,

From north to south,

And the economy began to never.

To make me known another part of the rich history of the city,

Carlo leads me to piazza della consola,

that his name owes his imposing church.

We are going to take it that is known as "Bicerin",

a term that, in Turin's dialect,

means "glass";

And it's an espresso coffee with chocolate and cream, hot cream.

Here is the traditional way to take...the coffee.

Health!¡Por nosotros!

For us, thanks.

The first thing that comes to you is the cream.

Hot and quite thick.

Then, you enter the taste of chocolate.

It is not too sweet, which I like,

Because it means that it is a good chocolate;

y luego, al fondo, estáthe coffee.

It is very rich!

I like it, it's rich.

Is rich, yes.

If you take one a day, nothing happens.

Yes, sí.

I think with one a day, there is enough and enough.

If not, you can end up in Pavarotti.

You can get Luciano Pavarotti!

It shows that it has many calories.Yes, sí.

They did the tests in the roof.

¡¿En la azotea?!Yes, arriba.

The site we are going to save "Lugotto".

I've always wanted to go there,

because it is where the original Fiat factory is located,

and they made test races in the roof of the building.

¿De verdad that vamos a ir ahí?Yes, de verdad, vamos.

Sure?...You do not fool me?

Sure...Nos terminamosthe coffee y vamos.

Well, come, come...¡terminaosthe coffee y vamos!

¡Qué emoción! ¡Is incredible!

I feel like a child opening a gift.

Gallina meat has been put.

I'm seeing the building...That's that!

I have seen this place so many times in TV and in magazines...

And finally I'm here.

It is magnificent.The ingotto!

WE ARE IN THE LOGOTTO.

When the factory opened in 1923,

It was the largest car factory of the world.

It's a pass!

The structure, the entire building design...

The cars were manufactured a mounting chain

that ascended by the building,

and they left the roof test track already finished.

And how could it be otherwise,

This was where the last scene was shot

From the movie "The Italian Job".

On the top of the world!

What is here where I tried Fiat 500?

That is Carlo, that this car...

Yes...

Probablemente, Already estuvo una vezen esta pista y hoy ha vuelto.

Exactly.

Let the race begin!

Come, let's go there!

I'll win!

It's crazy, it's like driving a tuna can!

I have dreamed of that I was a child!

I won!

Very good, Gino!

I won!

Great!Thank you!

I am so happy and grateful

by the experience that has given me,

that...In return, I'm going to cook something.

And I eat it!

Well come, you go to change the oil to the car,

that yo voy a hervir agua.Voucher...

This recipe could not be express.

In just 15 minutes,

I'm going to prepare some fettuccinecon pork, romero

and a white truffle oil from the region.

Where do we start?

Here: by the rosemary.

Lo that quiero that hagáis essacar las hojas del tallo

and chop them fine.

If you use rosemary, remember to cook it first of all,

porthat las hojas de romeroson muy duras.

Next,...olive oil.

And then a little butter.

It is very important to throw the oil and butter at the same time.

Si ponemos solo la mantequillase thatmará en seguida.

El olive oil ayudaa that la mantequilla no se thatme.

¡Venid aquí! ¡Venid aquí!¡Fix en este chisporroteo!

The rosemary will perfume the oil and butter,

that es exactamente lo that quiero.

We add chopped onion...

Come on man...!

Slowly!

Italian drivers are crazy.

The onion is at its point

And we throw our pork, minced. So.

The secret is to use the spoon

To leave all little pieces...of meat.

But, what happens to these people?!

We season and fry about 15 minutes.

Y ahora, thatso mascarponea la sartén.

We link it with the sauce.

Then I put some flat sheet parsley, of course.

Like I always say:

el perejil de hoja rizadaes una porthatría.Don't use it!

Thick sting;Not too fine.

¿Os acordáis de lo that os dijedel romero,

that había that cocinarlo lo primero?

Being a soft leaf herb, parsley is almost at the end,

para that conserve su sabor.

That's it.

Añadimos unos guisantesthat hemos descongelado,

And we cook everything over low heat, three minutes.

We turn off the fire and let it stand.

We put the pasta in a pot with boiling salt water.

With pasta...,ponga lo that ponga en el pathatte,

Subtract a minute,

y os thatdará la consistenciaal dente, perfecta.

We Parmesan Ralla in Salsa.

To make the PastaPerfect plate, we take out the paste.

¿Veis that gotea agua?

Well, I'm going to use it.To the sauce.

We mix everything well.

They already arrive.They must have smelled the pasta.

I'm going to use an ingredient

that en toda esta regiónse trabaja de maravilla:

el olive oil a la trufa.

I'm going to put a splash of truffle olive oil.

What a smell!

The smell has arrived, huh?! They have smelled the food.

Thanks, thanks to you!

Thanks thanks!

¡Mirad lo that me ha regalado!

What detail.I leave it here.

Come, to eat! To eat!

Take advantage.Take advantage.

He estado esperando este momentodesde that tengo 10 u 11 años,

And finally I'm here.

Wonderful!
