I quite enjoy them taking a picture because it’s a memory that they have on their phone for the rest of their life, providing it doesn’t become too much of an intrusion with flashlights going off every two seconds.

And it’s me doing what I do best - an adventure with food, understanding cultures and from becoming an amazing prolific chef to becoming a teacher, to becoming a pupil, stripped of everything I know and putting myself into that area of their expertise, for me, was a dream come true. Now that the program’s out and clearly been successful and rated very well, I’m at peace because it’s good for them to see there’s no comparison. Back in 2004, I started my journey from visiting Cambodia, the most amazing southeastern Asian islands, Vietnam and then spending three months in India from north to south and a week in an ashram in Kerala and understanding how to perfect vegetarian cuisine, and so I was more upset with people criticizing Uncharted without having seen it.

The high-altitude fruit farm, tiny farm in the mountains of Peru, the intense flavour was extraordinary. So, I’ve tasted ingredients across this show that I’ve never tasted before. We also have that responsibility as a chef for sustainability, and I think I’ve always been a big advocate with seasonality, and some of these ingredients that I came across in many countries, they stay there, and well done for that.

Ramsay is adapting and bringing us along on his learning journey.
