Learning while cooking

Before we left for Manila, we were following the tv series on Jamie Oliver's trip to America. I loved the whole concept of the show because he visited different places in the States and tried to immerse himself in the different cultures there. One example was when he visited Louisiana. He did not book himself at a hotel new orleans, but instead tried living in the community and learned how to cook gumbo and alligator. He also went on to learn mexican style cooking as well as how the Navajo Indians cooked. It was a very interesting way of learning how these people live, and the unifying element in that all was cooking. I would certainly recommend that you watch it.
