Listen "Cooking in extreme places"
Episode Synopsis
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 (Image: Mount Lister in Antarctica, covered in snow and ice.
