Beloved Danish chef René Redzepi has taken over Apple TV+ with a docuseries that separates itself from the usual viewing you might be used to on the streaming platform. Omnivore is about food, people, places, and recipes, and Redzepi truly takes everyone on a unique journey that we will not forget for a long time to come. All episodes of Omnivore are now streaming on Apple TV+!
Before you start watching Omnivore, we would highly recommend sitting down with a snack or two, because how Redzepi highlights the different kinds of food will leave you wanting more, and definitely also make you hungry! Here’s our review of a thought-provoking food docuseries that had us salivating for more such series.
René Redzepi and The Journey of a Lifetime
We are what we eat. A simple yet powerful statement, which is also the beginning of Omnivore before René Redzepi allows viewers to tag along on a journey unlike never before. In different episodes of the series, Redzepi explores different ingredients, which truly helps this series present itself neatly and systematically.
It is easy to follow, and if you skip one episode, you won’t lose momentum, although we highly doubt your fingers will wander anywhere near the keyboard unless, of course, you want to pause and get yourself a snack. The first episode begins with an ingredient used all across the globe, in some countries more than others – chile.
Redzepi takes us all the way to Serbia for some chile, particularly paprika, as he talks about the spice in terms of both pain and pleasure. There’s something so incredibly luring about Redzepi as a host, and you will find yourself drawn to his storytelling in every episode, which is supported by mesmerizing visuals of the ingredients that he talks about.
The second episode of Omnivore focuses on a food item that people either love or hate – tuna. If you thought there couldn’t be an entire episode structured around tuna, Redzepi is here to prove you wrong.
Each episode of Omnivore is a learning experience, whether or not you’re a big food lover. There’s something for everyone in this Apple TV+ series and not a single dull moment.
The other episodes of Omnivore take viewers all across the globe as Redzepi explores salt, bananas, pig, rice, coffee, and corn. You learn more about these foods, their origin, where they are more prominently found, how they can used, and so much more, things you could never learn from a simple cookbook. Redzepi truly stunned us as the host of Omnivore!
Conclusion
If you are a food lover, Omnivore deserves the top spot on your watchlist right now, and if you are simply keen on learning about the world, people, and what they eat, in that case, once again, Omnivore deserves a stream.
