In the glorious sunny surroundings of the Hudson River Valley, Helen Hokin embarks on the 8th episode in the Food Tripper food and travel series.
The story begins around 400 years ago when Dutch settlers arrived in the Hudson and kicked off a culinary revolution that is still evolving today.
As she travels through the gorgeous 'Garden of North America' Helen
meets, cooks and eats with an award-winning all-American cheese maker, a wood-dwelling maple syrup producer, celebrity chefs, food historians, hoteliers, farmers and a teacher at the Culinary Institute of America, all helping to piece together four centuries of fascinating food history.
