Eating with the Ancestors

is a documentary series
which has a large scoop of archaeology
a sprinkling of anthropology
a teaspoon of history
and a dash of cooking
rolled together to present a totally new way
at looking at the food we eat today.
Eating with the Ancestors will bring together a number of fascinating academic areas that will enlighten our knowledge of modern cuisine: food studies, archaeology, anthropology, history, religion, cultural studies and the media.
Each episode will focus on one country in the world, its history, people, landscape, culture and food.
Eating with the Ancestors will give to TV audiences an understanding of how these foods made an ancient civilisation come together over food, created a culture and, ultimately, were the primary source of survival. Without these dishes, the people of the present world would most certainly not be here today.
Eating with the Ancestors will use the latest trends in CGI and will include re-enactments and verite. This will create a compelling and dynamic way in which to explore and link the culturally rich history of our world with its present.
