Henry Hargreaves and Caitlin Levin are two such people who have great love and respect for food. These two gourmets have travelled far and wide—wherever that inviting aroma from the kitchen pulled them. From a tomato-loving Italy and cheese-relishing France to seaweed-savouring Japan and spicy-and-seasoned India. They have traversed across the globe in search of some good food. And got to know that food too has journeyed worldwide. Like tomatoes originally from the Andes in South America is now dominating all flavours in Italy.
