Revisiting some of the most powerful food stories from the pandemic

Revisiting some of the most powerful food stories from the pandemic.

In this final episode of 2021, we're revisiting some of the most powerful food stories from the pandemic.  Following widespread restaurant closures and labour shortages across the hospitality sector, we catch up with a New York chef who is forging a new path. And what about those people who thanks to Covid-19 can’t even smell or taste their food anymore? We’ll be finding out whether this leading symptom of the virus is now better understood. Plus, how is one of the world’s newest emojis – the arepa flatbread - faring, one year on?
