Venice-Simplon Orient Express - Venice to London

Jonathan boards this historic train at Venice train station and travels via Innsbruck to Paris and then on to London. On board he meets other guests and gets ready for a black tie dinner. After a night spent on the train, he enjoys a lobster lunch whilst travelling from Paris to London. In Venice he explores the Rialto food market and cooks scampi which he buys there with chef Ivan Cantenacci. He visits the palazzo Lezze home of Marie Bagnasco, on the Grand Canal, and finds out how Venetians live and entertain in these palatial houses. He cooks with Chef Maurizio Adamo at a local fried fish eaterie, Paradiso Perduto and enjoys a bellini and a Venetian sunset at the Hotel Cipriani. In Paris Jonathan is invited to the laboratory of chocolate master Patrick Roger where truffle making doesn’t go quite to plan and he does retro dining at the art nouveau restaurant, La Fermette Marbeuf.
