Summary If food looks good, we are more likely to find out if it tastes good. The way food is styled and presented plays an important part in our perception of the overall appeal of a meal - whether at home or in a restaurant. Discussing the human body's five senses, this programme demonstrates how we as humans assess food; addressing the sensory characteristics that people look for in a variety of meals. Through interviews with a chef, a food stylist and a nutritionist, we look at the many ways in which food can be presented; from basic parties through to silver service.

Summary Award-winning filmmaker Byron Hurt offers a fascinating exploration of the soul food tradition, its relevance to black cultural identity, and its continuing popularity despite the known dangers of high-fat, high-calorie diets. Inspired by his father's lifelong love affair with soul food even in the face of a life-threatening health crisis, Hurt discovers that the relationship between African-Americans and dishes like ribs, grits, and fried chicken is deep-rooted and culturally based. At the same time, he moves beyond matters of culture and individual taste to show how the economics of the food industry have combined with socioeconomic conditions in predominantly black neighborhoods to dramatically limit food choices. The result is an absorbing and ultimately inspiring look at the cultural politics of food and the complex interplay between identity, taste, power, and health. Features soul food cooks, historians, doctors, and food justice movement activists who are challenging the food industry, creating sustainable gardens, and advocating for better supermarkets, more farmers' markets, and healthier takes on soul food.
