How the Past Informs the Future
Season 6
Episode 610
Can our ancestral past help us as we move into the future? Our ancestors evolved to ensure survival, creating settlements, becoming agrarian, growing food, processing food and preserving food. They revered, respected and feared nature for its power over humanity. Today we cook to honor our past as we visit mystical Matera and learn how ancient foods still inform how we eat in our modern world.
