Omnivore When the pandemic struck, René Redzepi was forced to temporarily close his Copenhagen -based restaurant, Noma, arguably the most famous fine-dining establishment in the world. But instead of taking a break, Redzepi used the time to cook up a new project that became Omnivore, an Apple TV+ show premiering July 19.
Narrated by Redzepi (who also makes some appearances), the docuseries explores how food shapes and connects the world. Each episode revolves around a single ingredient, like salt, rice or banana. The show examines the dedicated farmers, fishermen and other producers behind the ingredient; the people who consume it; and the food’s impact on society, whether cultural, political or ecological.
To tell these stories, Omnivore crisscrossed the globe, bringing you to the places the ingredients originate from and showcasing each destination’s natural beauty. The food docuseries can easily be mistaken for a travel show, with wanderlust-sparking panoramas of the terraced salt flats of Peru ; the palm-tree-laden landscapes of India ; and houses shrouded in bright red curtains of paprika peppers in Serbia. Redzepi spoke to us from Noma about the new series and shared his ambitious plans once the restaurant permanently closes next year.
