What the creator captured
Travel Channel sought out rare and authentic culinary traditions, from hunting down armadillo with Zapotec women in Mexico to sharing a thousand-year-old lifestyle in a Moroccan mud-brick home. The creator was particularly impressed by the delicate, lean flavor of the armadillo and the incredible hospitality of hosts who cook over open fires without modern plumbing. These experiences highlighted the value of finding food fresh from the source and the preservation of ancestral recipes.
