Relish

In the food and culture series RELISH, chef Yia Vang connects with culinary experts and food makers through curiosity and humor to reveal the rich tapestry of food traditions, history and modern expressions of taste and flavor. In season five, episodes explore two famous noodle dishes with a surprising shared history; unwrap a pair of centuries-old pastries that are tasty, filling and easy on the wallet; and look at meat alternatives and veggies that will redefine perceptions of vegan cooking. Catering to the epicurious and those eager to expand their culinary horizons, RELISH explores the parallels and contradictions that make a person, a culture or a dish unique while fostering a spirit of inclusivity and respect that emphasizes the belief that the beauty of our global community lies in our differences.
