Flavorful Origins (2019)
Culturally informative, visually sumptuous, narration hatred overblown

The first impression is the striking photography, skillfully employing panoramas and aerial drone views, to meticulous unhurried close-ups. Then the food itself, starting with basic ingredients through preparation to final consumption. The stories entwine these settings and foodstuffs with people and their histories, equally fascinating and revealing. Finally, I don't share the dislike of the narration -- about which some comments here border on revulsion. It is fine to my ears. As an English-only speaker and reader, I cannot compare the translation to the original.
