No one could explore the culinary aspects of Italy better! Stanley is a "class act" who is so personable and genuine. He makes me feel like I'm there, with every bite! Only wish I really was! I'm so inspired to cook Italian food, right down to all the traditional (and non-traditional) ingredients that are explored. I LOVE this series and am anticipating another season of the best "armchair" wanderlust. My manicotti is waiting.......
