About this episode

Pauline Frommer discusses the evolution of Asian cuisine in Europe with Danielle Chang, exploring authenticity and agricultural changes.

The latest season of Lucky Chow with Danielle Chang is now available on PBS, and it concentrates on the boom in Asian cuisine, and Asian-influenced restaurants, in some of Europe’s most food-obsessed cities. Pauline Frommer talked with host Danielle Chang about how definitions of authenticity are shifting when it comes to food, how the colonial histories of both France and the United Kingdom have shaped their contemporary food cultures, and why Swedish farmers are now growing a variety of new crops.
