Series 2 Episode 1

First Broadcast: Mon 9 May 2011 Channel 4

Gordon visits Cambodia, eating fried tarantula and preparing a traditional banquet for the royal family.

Cambodia is a country still ravaged from the ruthless rule of the Khmer Rouge and recovering from the terrible famines inflicted on the population. Travelling thousands of miles across the country, Gordon samples a host of surreal, unusual and delicious foods including local delicacies fried tarantula, stuffed frog and raw baby duck eggs.

His thirst for adventure leads him to hunt, cook and eat the deadly anthropoid; catch frogs in snake infested waters; witness a traditional tribal wedding feast; and visit Phnom Penh, where the Friends Cookery School is re-establishing the country's traditional cuisine.

Gordon is eager to learn how to cook perfect pork and pumpkin curry, and meets gifted student Sopheak, whose promise is so exceptional that Gordon invites him to join him in preparing a traditional banquet for Cambodia's royal family.
