Back: in search of the pomegranate

Nadia Zerouali and Merijn Tol set out to explore eating habits in the Middle East. They talk to six women about how they view food and culture in their country. We were already fans of this programme, and now it is returning to television.

The programme is not only about food. Through conversations about eating habits, Nadia and Merijn gain access to the lives of the various women. While cooking or eating, for example, they talk about their friendships. Still, food is of course the reason we will be watching.

For instance, Nadia and Merijn have breakfast with a sheep’s head, engage in discussions about the taste of camel meat and are guests on an episode featuring local TV chef Deema. When we see this, we immediately want to go on holiday to the Middle East, so we will definitely be watching again.

From 14 January, every Sunday at 4:30 p.m. on NPO 2.
