For Episode 3.0, we embark on a tribute to Nusantara’s heritage of food preservation. By reimagining techniques like smoking, fermenting, pickling, and curing through a modern culinary lens, we seek to capture the essence of both survival and exquisite flavour. These time-honoured methods, once essential for preserving food in the tropical climate, were a form of alchemy. We continue to honour the deep connection to the land and the ingenuity of someone who turned necessity into a masterful craft.
