Food and travel enthusiast Robert Golden reveals Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, as part of his gastronomic tour. As he arrives, Easter celebrations prompt a hive of activity in Puglia. See some of Italy's finest pasta-makers kneading dough to create mouth-watering seafood spaghetti.

See how these dishes are created in this guide to the home of much of Italy's cuisine - most of the country's produce hails from Puglia, as well as a large volume of its white wine.
