Nino Dolce Il Cucinero Dell-- Amore Playboytv
What separates Il Cucinero dell’Amore from standard Playboy TV fare is its dedication to the culinary arts. This isn't a show where the kitchen is merely a prop; it is a character. The production value is high, with the sizzle of olive oil hitting the pan amplified to match the electric atmosphere in the room.
Nino Dolce, a mustachioed, oiled-up Roman chef who looks like he wrestled a jar of Nutella and lost, doesn’t just cook Italian food. He seduces it. Each 22-minute episode features Nino teaching two contestants (usually a couple or two singles) how to make a classic aphrodisiac dish (think oysters with champagne risotto, or tiramisu with a “secret” espresso kick). The twist? The kitchen is a PlayboyTV set: velvet apron strings, strategically placed basil leaves, and a lot of double entendres about “pounding the dough.” nino dolce il cucinero dell-- amore playboytv
