Another in the Woman's Hour series based around Mary Contini's new book, Dear Francesca.
Mary was born and brought up in Edinburgh and East Lothian, but her ancestors hail from Southern Italy, so lots of her recipes are influenced by her family background.
She shows Simon Parkes how to prepare small baby chickens ? or poussin ? with an Orvieto-style potato and olive stuffing.
