Key Ingredients
Our recipes, menus, ceremonies, and etiquette are directly shaped by our country’s rich immigrant experience, the history of innovations in food preparation technology, and the ever-changing availability of key ingredients. This documentary explores our complex relationship with the food we grow, prepare, and eat.
