Review -- David Rocco's Dolce Vita


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I am starting to fall in love with David Rocco, or just his foodie programme on Channel 5, anyway. (11:30 AM on weekdays.) At the risk of being heckled by Naked fans everywhere, I think I might actually like David more! I think it's the way he's always smiling at the camera, unlike Jamie who's become somewhat of a grouch. David smiles when he slices eggplant, smiles when he puts the eggplant in the oven, and smiles when he puts cheese on his eggplant -- and suddenly I find that I'm smiling too, even though I absolutely detest eggplants!

I'm kidding about the love bit, but as far as that goes, I think that being set in the gorgeous city of Florence gives the whole programme a huge dose of romanticism. Part cooking programme, part culture brochure, whatever David's food lacks in aesthetic value, Florence more than makes up for it.

That's that, then. Next stop? Italia!

I don't care man. He can be cheesy all he wants, just as long as he keeps smiling like that. :p
