Portugal
Saving Lisbon’s Restaurant Soul
Zé Saudade e Silva, the 29-year-old chef of Lisbon’s Cacué restaurant, talks about his quest to preserve a vanishing style of dining in his city, what he’s doing to save it, and why it’s so important for Cacué to survive the pandemic.

Sicily
The Caviar of Sicily and Other Stories from Lunch on the Farm
For part two of our visit to Regaleali, the magnificent Tasca family estate in the heart of Sicily, we visit and cook with the inimitable Fabrizia Lanza at Case Vecchie, where her mother, the legendary Anna Tasca Lanza, founded the singular cooking school that bears her name. With characteristic wit, grace, and authority, Fabrizia teaches us about Sicilian cake with a unique filling and caviar that doesn’t come from a fish. She shares her emotional story of leaving home and ultimately returning, and reveals what it’s like to carry on her mother’s legacy while also forging her own path as one of Sicily’s most important and enduring culinary voices.
