Chef Rich Francis explores indigenous communities across Canada, learning about the traditional and modern methods of harvesting and preparing the food that has shaped their cultures over the millennia. This documentary series also bring us into the hunting, harvesting, and fishing techniques either used today or in the past, and brings everything together in a final scene where Rich draws on what he’s learned, and uses his contemporary culinary techniques and understanding to reimagine a new dish for the community to enjoy.
Here is a brief synopsis of Wild Game – the show that takes you out into the wild where you eat all the things. Follow our host Rich, as we explore and create Canadian Indigenous meals in the timeless methods that prove you don’t need a 5 star kitchen to develop a 5 star meal.
