Spaghetti, Saltimbocca ... and Slayings?

This looks like something I might enjoy watching. From Deadline:
BritBox International is serving up a crime procedural series using classic Italian cuisine as the basis for each episode’s murder mystery.

A Taste for Murder will star BAFTA-winning Downton Abbey actor Phyllis Logan alongside Warren Brown (The Responder) and Cristiana Dell’Anna (Gomorrah).

Each episode of the series will feature a murder mystery connected in some way to Italian cuisine. Brown is [Detective Chief Inspector] Joe Mottram, a star detective with the Metropolitan police who, after a personal tragedy, retreats to Capri in Italy with his daughter to stay with his Italian in-laws for the summer. Logan is Elena Da Vinale, the witty matriarch of the family, front-of-house manager of the family restaurant, and mother to DCI Joe’s late wife.
Gomorrah star Dell’Anna plays Inspector Lara Sarrancino, an ambitious and no-nonsense detective with the State Police in Naples. Beau Gadsdon (The Crown) is Joe’s daughter Angelica.
Telly Visions notes that “filming is now underway for A Taste for Murder, which is expected to debut on BritBox towards the end of 2025 or early 2026.” I’ll have to order in more popcorn.
