On the magnificent island of Elba, famous worldwide as the home of Napoleon but also famous in Italy for its honey and iron production, Gino pays a visit to Napoleon's house, and meets a quirky octogenarian beekeeper known as the 'bee whisperer', who makes award-winning honey, which inspires Gino to make a melt-in-your-mouth chicken roast drenched in honey. Also, Gino visits the disused mines to experience the island's harsh mining past along with one of the now elderly former miners as his guide, which inspires Gino to prepare a saffron risotto in rose wine on a nearby beach made extremely hot to stand on by the iron in the sand.
