A Cultural Culinary Experience
I have always wanted to do a cooking show because I love cooking so much, especially for my family and friends.
I also think that the food that I have grown up on is pretty special and it is infused with so much history and cultural and family stories that I have always thought that the merging of all these elements would make for a very different cooking show.
– Mitch Torres, Director & Presenter
