And with an award-winning filmmaker like Jesse Roesler behind the camera, each episode will make you hungry for more,” says Endemol Shine Boomdog CEO Alejandro Rincón.
Each 30-minute episode of Orígenes will be a journey of discovery, tracing specific techniques and cooking styles to its source. The series will include episodes set in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Peru and other Latin American nations.
