January 14, 2026 • Deep Dive Team • Season 2 • Episode 1

In this episode, we explore the profound impact of the Silk Road on global gastronomy, diving into its role as a historical network of cultural and culinary exchange.

Discover how ancient grains, dried fruits, and innovative preservation techniques like fermentation traveled across continents, shaping the way we eat today.

Beyond the historical journey, we highlight contemporary chefs who are reviving these ancestral methods to promote sustainability and biodiversity in modern food systems.

Through engaging storytelling, this episode illustrates how food acts as a universal language, connecting past civilizations to the present through shared flavors and traditions.

With included recipes and regional spotlights, we’ll uncover how the legacy of the Silk Road continues to influence diverse cuisines, from the aromatic Persian rice dishes to the vibrant flavors of Vietnamese street food.
