From Scratch

David Moscow meets with chef Marilu Madueno of La Huaca Pucclanai, one of the best restaurants in Lima. After learning the significance of how Peruvian ingredients shaped the world's food, David travels across the country to source these foundational ingredients. After heading into the Andes to check out Incan ruins, he harvests Quinoa, Corn, and Potatoes, slaughters a duck, and finally in a test of his fortitude he becomes a Mata Cuy.

David Moscow gets soaking wet hunting "from scratch" ingredients on an island north of Seattle for Chef Matt Costello at the Inn at Langley. Whether it's mushrooms in the rain, clams in the sand, or crabs in the San Juans, David learns a new appreciation for how incredible the Pacific Northwest is.

David Moscow travels the northern coast of Croatia to dive for clams, hunt for truffles and fish the Adriatic for Marina Gasi in Novigrad. He learns about how tied to the sea Croatia is, but also how the history of the country has brought international flavors into its dishes.

David Moscow works in the kitchen of Lima's Central, the brainchild of wildly talented chef and food ethnographer Virgilio Martinez and the world's 6th best restaurant according to the "World's Best 50 Restaurants." Central's menu is based on altitudes and the dish sends him hunting for each ingredient, from Lima on the coast into the Andes for potatoes and back down into the Amazon to harvest chocolate and to fish for piranha.
