Food Safari explores different kinds of cuisine by taking you on a crash course of some simple classic dishes and the key ingredients that they feature. This happens in the form of rapid fire recipes presented by different chefs filmed in a casual documentary style with fast paced jump cuts. The overall effect can be quite overwhelming but also stresses the simplicity of each dish.
The host Maeve O'Meara holds a fairly sedate role, sourcing the diverse guests but then allowing them to do most of the talking. Nevertheless this affords the viewer a variety of opinions with the comfort a familiar face throughout the episode.
The frequent lush close ups and saturated colour make the food stand out and look as exotic as it might sound. The blood orange mixed with baby fennel looked particularly vibrant and the funky background music provides a suitable soundtrack.
The program is quite choppy but some continuity is provided by each episode’s theme, such as ‘Italian’ or ‘Thai’. Overall this provides a good overview of the possibilities there are for the every day watcher to experiment with elements of different ethnic cuisines.
And in case you missed it or it was too fast to write down, the recipe videos are available on the net, as are some of the recipes in written form.
