Gino D’Acampo serves up creamy risotto with red radicchio, vibrant peas and Italian sausage on Gino’s Italian Escape: A Taste of the Sun.

Gino continues his Italian Escape tour of Venice where he draws inspiration for the dish when he visits the nearby island of Burano. Its eye-catching multi-coloured houses make Burano a popular tourist spot, but Gino was not there to see the beautiful sights, he was after one thing – the risotto. In a local eatery, Gino is astounded to witness – and take part in – a highly unusual method of cooking this special rice dish.

On return to the rooftops of Venice, Gino rustles up his own creamy risotto with red radicchio, vibrant peas and Italian sausage.
