Episode 14

What happens when indigenous ingredients meet passionate food lovers? In this episode, we’ll meet a Peruvian chef who transforms local fruits and vegetables into haute cuisine, and then learn how an Aboriginal community keeps its Outback traditions alive and thriving. We’ll also visit a French-born chef as he forages for seaweed on the Irish Coast, then hop over to Seattle, Washington to dig for geoduck, a large saltwater clam that can live for up to 140 years and weigh up to 10 pounds. Join us as we learn how these indigenous foods make for rich traditions and delicious cuisine.
