The renowned British chef Gordon Ramsay visited Cuba in the midst of the current food crisis affecting the country, in search of the authentic cuisine and flavors of the island.
The commercial for the program dedicated to Cuban food is causing a lot of buzz on social media, as some internet users claim that the chef will portray an unrealistic image of Cuba.
His trip to Havana was part of the fourth season of the television series "Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted," produced by National Geographic.
The Cuban episode will air on June 16th, featuring Ramsay immersing himself in the island's rich culinary culture with ingredients that are not commonly consumed by locals due to the high cost of food in the country.
"In search of authentic Cuban cuisine," Ramsay travels to several places on the island. In a curious scene, which in the Cuban context could be seen as both surreal and humorous, the chef had to dive into the sea to fish for fresh ingredients and be able to prepare them using local culinary techniques.
This famous chef stands out for his passionate approach, his versatility in the kitchen, and his casual way of presenting a dish, making recipes that are true pleasures look easy to make.
However, in the case of your visit to Havana, more than one Cuban would like to see you cook with what is truly in the refrigerators of family homes.
There is great anticipation to see the program as Ramsay will explore the markets in Cuba that are usually empty. The goal is to highlight the creativity and ingenuity of the local cuisine, but many people doubt that the chef will provide a true critique of what is happening with food in the country.
In Cuba, more and more people are living without access to essential foods such as bread, coffee, milk, eggs, fish, meats, and vegetables. Recently, UNICEF acknowledged that 9% of Cuban children are experiencing severe food poverty.
"Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted" is a culinary adventure series where the chef travels to remote locations around the world in search of inspiration and unforgettable experiences. It premiered on July 21, 2019, and is directed by Jon Kroll.
The series has captured the attention of food and travel lovers. The fourth season takes Ramsay to explore not only Cuba, but also the ancient culinary traditions of Spain and Hawaii.
Ramsay is famous for his shows "Kitchen Nightmares" and "MasterChef". He also has a television show about recipes using only five ingredients, which you can't miss if you are Cuban and need to optimize your kitchen products.
