Chef and food educator Stephen Guy aka ‘The Hungry Guy’ takes you on a global and historical taste tour, explaining how the Spice Routes of the 16th Century impacted the way the world eats and allowed the sharing of traditions, ingredients and recipes that has forged the way we eat today. Illustrated with multiple dishes from around the world discover how the Spice Routes forged global empires and incited wars. Accompanied with a glass of IPA.
