Gino D'Acampo talks to Donald Sloan

Celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo introduces some clips from his new television series about the food of Sardinia and Sicily and talks food and Italy with the head of Oxford Gastronomica Donald Sloan.

Neapolitan D’Acampo is one of the most popular chefs on British television, best known for his prime time ITV series Gino’s Italian Escape. His many television credits include Saturday Kitchen, Ready, Steady Cook and This Morning. His huge popularity with viewers was demonstrated when he was voted King of the Jungle in the popular reality television show I’m A Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here. In his latest television series, he heads for Sicily and Sardinia to discover the authentic and delicious Italian food and recipes from these islands.

D’Acampo was born in Naples and inherited his grandfather’s love of cooking. He studied at the Luigi di Medici Catering College before working across Europe and eventually settling in England. He has opened three My Pasta Bar restaurants in London and later this year expands the concept into two new restaurants – in Manchester and the West End.

Sloan is head of the Oxford School of Hospitality Management at Oxford Brookes University and chair of Oxford Gastronomica, a specialist centre for the study of food, drink and culture that works to enhance our relationship with food and drink and to celebrate their place in our lives.

This event will last 2 hours.
