G & D have been invited to put on a cooking demo at the prestigious Tuscan Sun Festival in Cortona. They whip up a shrimp risotto and a peach and fennel salad that empresses festival goers. Then they're under the gun as they go to the villa made famous by author Frances Mayes in her book "Under The Tuscan Gun" to cook a special lunch for some important VIPs in the Italian culinary world. The pressure is for Gabriele to perform in his homeland!

The pressure is on for Debi & G as they take over a Los Angeles restaurant and test out recipes for their new cookbook on some famous foodies - Susan Feniger, and several others.

Debi, Gabriele and their daughters have just arrived at their home in Italy. Everyone is exhausted from jetlag and the stress of travel. All Debi and the girls want is to relax but Gabriele has invited friends and family over for dinner so there's no time. Instead they pick apricots off their own trees, which they will grill for an appetizer, and head to a local goat farm to buy two delicious cheeses to go with them. They make homemade ice cream for dessert and harvest cherries for a compote to ladle over the sweet treat. Then, to top it all off, Gabriele builds a fire in the heat of the day to make pasta alla Norma with grilled eggplant and Debi makes a salad with green radicchio and a lemon and olive oil dressing. It's wonderful to see their loved ones after being away from Italy for so long and the food is a big hit. In the end, the fact that they pushed themselves to stay up is probably a good thing because now, after all their hard work, and with bellies full of Gabriele's delicious Tuscan food, they will all sleep like babies.
