Asia accounts for around 60 per cent of the global population – and many of the rest adore the continent’s flavourful, aromatic food. This culinary compilation finds the genial and ever enthusiastic Jimmy Doherty reliving his all-time favourite Asian food experiences. In China’s Sichuan province, he dips into a traditional soy sauce factory to learn the difference between light and dark varieties. On a trip to Bangalore, he’s invited to a spicy Indian wedding and uncovers why turmeric is an ingredient in more of your food than you realise. In sunny Sri Lanka, he cracks the case of the coconut’s surge in popularity. In bustling Bangkok, he investigates spring rolls and sticky Thai rice. Anyone else suddenly fancy a takeaway?
