有一陣子我超愛看Travel and Living 頻道的David Rocco's Dolce vita (中譯: 甜蜜義大利，正確的意思是甜蜜生活)
主持人兼廚師David Rocco是個加拿大出生的義大利人
所以他的英文腔沒有濃厚的義大利腔
即使不看字幕也可容易聽懂他的介紹 (順便練英文聽力很不錯...這就是我學英文的方法之一噜.我討厭看書本學英文)

{David Rocco是一個愛分享的人}
他是一個很熱情, 愛與人分享他的生活, 他的發現 , 他的親朋好友
每次我看完短短30分鐘的的節目卻有無窮的收穫:
分享他眼中,他熟悉的義大利風情(尤其是我特愛的佛羅倫斯)
學習簡單又兼具健康的純義家常式的料理作法
瀏覽南義的景點風光體現南義人和台灣人有點類似的特質:熱情和愛分享,喜歡熱鬧和結交朋友的

 {David Rocco是一個念舊情的人}
David Rocco和他的製作人老婆Nina 從學生時代一見鍾情,一起工作到結婚生子已經10幾年了
但每到結婚紀念日還是像熱戀情侶一樣想給老婆NINA一個難忘的驚喜
誰說義大利人大都是風流花心的種馬ㄌㄟ...
在認識的幾位義大利朋友中. 我發現曾經在國外生活過或是來自南義的人,  他們對感情和台灣人一樣是念舊情和專情
然而一直居住在義大利的人可能因為周遭朋友都這樣
所以看見喜歡的女人都會叫:ciao bella!
然後開始調情耍曖昧 (就像你在電影"托斯卡尼豔陽下"電影中看到的情節)

{David Rocco是一個好爸爸}
因為他和老婆Nina終於在結婚多年後生了一對雙胞胎
為了能多陪伴老婆和初生兒
他的節目停播了一年
也就是因為這樣愛我好想念"甜蜜義大利"這個節目喔!
這個節目可是我從他很年輕就是頭還沒禿看到他的髮線漸變高耶...

{David Rocco是一個愛音樂的人}
好像認識的歐洲人,尤其是義大利人幾乎都會某一種樂器對音樂很有sense
對節奏更是沒話說好像他們就是天生的藝術家和美的代表者
我很喜歡他在節目裡的音樂他
也有在blog介紹(有英文和義大利歌)

David Rocco's Dolce Vita
HOSTED BY: David Rocco

David Rocco is not a chef. He's Italian. Shot on location in Florence, Sicily and the Amalfi Coast of Italy, Canadian-born David Rocco returns for a third season as your guide to everything Italian. In 13 brand new episodes, he's cooking up classic, easy-to-learn recipes for his friends and family.

The philosophy: you don't need a cooking diploma to make fantastic Italian dishes. As in season two, Rocco heads south—this time to explore the regional cuisine of Sicily. You can learn a lot about a city by visiting its markets, Rocco tells us as he starts his visit to the famous Palermo markets. From fresh produce, to street food that you won’t see anywhere else, Rocco takes you into the real heart of this colourful city. As he hits the countryside, Rocco meets some of the people who are putting Sicily on the map as an up and coming wine region and as a major exporter of olive oil. Along the way he explores some of the authentic rustic Sicilian cuisine, based on local seasonal ingredients.

Fans of season two will be happy to see the return of Eddie and Professore, as Rocco and Nina return to Ravello where Rocco makes a series of dishes that take advantage of the famous Amalfi lemons. As always, the season begins, in Rocco's home base of Florence, where he presents some of the best of the Tuscan food and lifestyle. Among the highlights: This season he takes us on a day long food tour of Florence, he reveals Tuscany's role in the creation of modern day chocolate, using it to create some surprising main course dishes.

Out in the countryside, Rocco takes us through the creation of fresh pecorino cheese, from milking the sheep to the final product. As always, Rocco has yet to meet an ingredient he didn't want to taste. From the street food of the Palermo market to the sophisticated aperitivo culture of Florence, David Rocco's Dolce Vita brings the Italian passion and flair for life and food right into your home.
