Le Marche

The region of Le Marche sits on the Adriatic coast of Italy, and though it's lesser known to international tourists, Stanley unearths culinary treasures worthy of recognition. He samples mosciole, plump hand-fished mussels, served in a surprising recipe and discovers three-star Michelin food in a beachside hut. He also tastes vincigrassi, a dish resembling lasagna but regarded as far superior by locals, which originates from one of the earliest cookbooks on record.
