Terra X - Die Geschichte des Essens(2015)

Terra X - Die Geschichte des Essens is a documentary series that explores humanity's most fundamental activity: eating. Hosted by renowned chef Christian Rach, the series traces how food culture has evolved across centuries and continents. Through three courses, Rach visits kitchens, gardens, bakeries, and palaces to meet chefs, cheese makers, and winemakers, uncovering the stories behind what we eat. Discover how Stone Age people prepared soup, why Europeans once feared the potato, and the surprising origins of coffee regulation in Prussia. The series reveals how everyday innovations—from baking soda to canned goods to dishwashers—transformed cooking and dining. Blending cultural history with culinary science, Terra X - Die Geschichte des Essens explains why human tastes have shifted dramatically over time and how our eating habits became what they are today.
