UNTAMED GOURMET
WHAT'S ON APTN:
 
UNTAMED GOURMET
Untamed Gourmet explores the connection between food and the land. In a time where food is readily available to us from anywhere in the world, we sometimes forget that everything we eat has a connection to the natural world around us. Untamed Gourmet brings this connection to the forefront as we watch a meal evolve – from inspiration, to collection, to preparation – all in a landscape where the ingredients are found or grown. Each episode takes us to a new region to follow a different chef and local guide skilled at seeking fresh regional ingredients. Untamed Gourmet takes the culinary arts out of the kitchen and back to the source. This unique approach gives us a new perspective on the landscape, and on the food that we bring into our homes.
