Coastal Escape: Elba

Tonight Gino is on the ancient island of Elba, famous for Napoleon, but also in Italy, for its honey and its iron production. Gino meets an octogenarian who is known as the ‘bee whisperer' who creates award winning honey, he visits the now disused mines to experience Italy's past and no trip to Elba is complete without a visit to Napoleon's house. Gino's experiences are the inspiration for a melt in your mouth honey chicken dish and an easy-peasy risotto cooked on a beach made of iron!
