Wherever humans go, whatever we do, we need to eat.
In this programme, we meet the people cooking at the extremes.
We hear about the chefs serving up three-course meals on Africa’s highest peak; the elaborate puddings created on stormy seas with a cruise ship pastry chef; the art of cramming enough food to feed 100 hungry sailors on board a nuclear submarine with a US Navy submarine culinary specialist, and tapas nights in the Antarctic with the chef at Rothera research station.
Presenter: Ruth Alexander
Producers: Rumella Dasgupta and Izzy Greenfield
