France: The Noble Olive

Georgia heads to South Carolina to meet the many talented artisans that define Lowcountry. From a basket weaver who is keeping the sweetgrass tradition of the Gullah Geechee people alive, to an intercoastal inspired shrimp recipe served in ironware crafted right down the street. Find out why the Lowcountry is defined by its character as much as it is a spot on the map.

France: The Noble Olive

Season 2 Episode 201 | 27m 18s | CC

Georgia travels back to the South of France, where she once cooked at a Michelin restaurant, and spends time in the olive harvest with a family who is carrying on the tradition of making olive oil. We learn about the herbs that are grown by a farmer late in the season to be infused in the olive oil, and how the oil is used by the baker who is baking bread using heirloom wheat.
