"In
Puglia, we use a lot more vegetables, and they have a stronger
taste. Some ingredients are difficult to find, such as the sea
urchins and the octopus. You can find those in Campagna near
Naples, as well as Puglia. We have a fava bean here in the states,
and Puglia, they have a macco difave, a stronger tasting bean,"
chef Odette explains, the pride of her Italian heritage showing
through her words. "I will try to use the products that
they will bring so that I can get you the closest possible taste
to the real Puglia flavors - it's really interesting - not so
well known here, but we're getting there."
