Trading in the animal world for the vegetable one, the garden is a place where ingredients for some of Ludo’s favorite dishes are cultured, grown and harvested. Today’s chef reveres his gardener as much as his butcher. In this episode, Ludo explores the vegetables, gardens, and memories he uses to cook some of his dishes.

How do the five senses really work? In fact, there are many more than five, and they all work together to create our own version of reality. We dive into the stories of a pairs figure skating team, a perfumer, a cave explorer, and a musician to decipher how different ways of sensing the world all create their own vivid, and unique, picture. This episode explores the world of human sensation and how it defines reality.
This eye-opening documentary puts a simple but provocative question to the test: how much does what we eat really shape our bodies and our health? In a tightly controlled scientific experiment, identical twins adopt radically different diets and lifestyles for eight weeks, allowing researchers to isolate the impact of food itself. By combining cutting-edge science with deeply personal experiences, the series reveals how diet influences everything from energy and metabolism to long-term wellbeing. In the first two episodes, the experiment begins as each pair of twins commits to either a plant-based or an omnivorous diet. As they adjust to unfamiliar routines, some changes feel surprisingly easy while others expose cravings, doubts, and unexpected challenges. Along the way, questionable dietary advice is put under the microscope, and a celebrity chef rethinks his approach to cooking, highlighting how habits, culture, and taste all collide when science meets the dinner table.
