Cookery writer, Skye McAlpine, joins Tanya this week to tell the tale of her travels with a gloriously heavy bias to the exquisite, Venice.

Skye’s recipes are influenced by her life in Italy - she moved to Venice, from London, at the age of six with her parents and now splits her time between both cities. It’s safe to say she knows her way around the streets (and canals!) of Venice…

With wonderful memories of eating ice-cream sandwiches for breakfast and hopping around Italy’s surrounding islands, Skye shares her favourite spots in Venice, the Aeolian Islands and destinations much further afield.
