Summary

Join world-renowned chef Jose Andres on an exploration of the most unknown - and some say, the most beautiful - country in the Caribbean. While most Americans know Haiti only through its disasters (earthquake, hurricane, poverty), Jose explores the UNDISCOVERED HAITI. As a chef and humanitarian, Jose is convinced we can change the world through the power of food, and understand a culture by exploring what, when and how its people eat.. Jose experiences the authentic traditions and rituals of Haiti, from making cassava bread to midnight gatherings with vodou priests. He dives deep into Haiti's natural beauty, taking you to ancient waterfalls and untouched coastlines. He hunts for land crabs and mythical mushrooms in its lush forests, and tastes local specialties on the bustling streets of Port-Au-Prince. We learn the history behind Haiti's incredible historic sites like the Citadel and tour a 150-year-old rum factory.. Friends such as former President Bill Clinton and chef Mario Batali even join Jose along the way.. In the spirit of both adventure and exploration, UNDISCOVERED HAITI follows Jose into the heart of this mysterious island; through its unique cuisine we discover the history and culture - and see into the future - of a proud and rarely understood people.
