Flavorful Origins

Great stories are being told one morsel at a time. Each episode is only 13 minutes and they are artistically very well done. I love the close up and slow motion shots of food. It's very interesting to see the layers of food we eat. How it looked close up. How it's being prepared. Usually, you just eat and takes it for granted. You don't really think or see how much craftsmanship is being put into a simple ingredient such as fish sauce. This show gives me a whole new perspective on the food I eat daily. It's a great show and I can't wait for more!

I just hope that Netflix creates another season in another region.

This series is a visual feast. Episodes are only 10 minutes long, but I keep going back to rewatch almost every scene. Can´t recommend this enough. Love it.

Great documentary that focuses only in the food and not the people, something that a Bite of China has failed at in the past two seasons.

Filmed in an elegant way, this is a feast for the eyes! Recommended for foragers, chefs and herbalists. As an instructor of Chinese herbal medicine, I 'll even recommend this to my students. It is a cultural treasure. Watched it with subtitles (no voice over).
