主持人Kate Humble将带领大家来到印度的“香料海岸”,探寻胡椒背后的故事。稍后,她又沿着香料之路,来到盛产肉桂的斯里兰卡,见证肉桂的丰收,亲历残酷的肉桂买卖。

Kate Humble embarks on a journey around the fabled spice islands of eastern Indonesia in search of two spices that launched epic voyages of discovery, caused bloody wars and shaped empires - nutmeg and cloves. These two spices, grown on an archipelago of tiny volcanic islands, drew European explorers in search of unbelievable wealth, but also led to massacres of local people and the decimation of their culture.

Kate meets the people who have rebuilt their lives and communities around the cultivation and trade of nutmeg and cloves, takes her place on one of the fastest produciton lines in the world, and discovers how the battle for these two spices led to the beginning of the British Empire in North America.

Kate Humble’s journey takes her from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco to the plains of Spain as she uncovers the story of the world’s most expensive spice, saffron, before crossing the Atlantic to Mexico, in search of Vanilla, a spice discovered by the most famous Spanish Conquistador Hernan Cortes. In the Atlas Mountains, October is saffron harvest month for the Berber people. Kate joins local saffron farmer Ahmed and his family to harvest their crop and visits a stunning store house carved into the mountainside. Worth 4000 pounds a kilo, saffron is also known as red gold and inspires countless imitations. In Spain Kate turns detective as she joins a blind tasting to sort out the genuine from the fakes and meets the man who tests the DNA in order to make sure it’s genuine. The Berbers of Morocco took saffron to Spain in the Muslim conquest of the 8th century, and 800 years later it was an ambitious Spaniard that brought us the next exotic taste, vanilla. It’s a flavour so widespread that it has become the world’s most popular ice-cream flavour. Kate journeys to Paplanta in Mexico, the birthplace of Vanilla, to meet the Totonac - the original guardian of the spice. She witnesses a spectacular death defying fertility dance and meets the people determined to keep Mexican vanilla alive in the face of the massive competition from other producers.
