Cooking From the Ground Up

“Cooking from the Ground Up” is a documentary-style series that moves beyond the restaurant review and the studio kitchen. Hosted by Matthew Neville, the show explores how food is shaped by place, culture, and history. Each arc follows a specific ingredient from its source, harvesting it from the soil or sea, to its final preparation. Merging cinematic storytelling with culinary history, the series contrasts ancient traditions with modern interpretations, proving that to truly understand a dish, you have to understand where it comes from.
