A marvellous set of part travelogue, part cookery show. Floyd is often dismissed as being simply a drunkard, knocking up food in nice locations and rambling on with his camera crew. Interestingly though, you'll often see him cited as a major influence on modern chefs.
This series includes some more unusual dishes from around the med, and encompasses more than just Italy, Spain and Greece - He goes round Turkey, and North Africa too.
Another thing about Floyd is that he comes across a bit 1950s Englishman when dealing with "the natives" but it is clear that there is an amazing amount of affection for people involved in country life and food production.
Theme music a bit dated though!!

This is simply the best cooking series I've ever seen. It explores the region in question's culture in detail, and the recipes are simply exquisite. Floyd oozes enthusiasm without swearing and bluff!

Great DVDs on food and travel
It's extremely interesting, informative and dynamic not only about food but travel as well. It's 100% worth seeing.
