Modern Pioneering with Georgia Pellegrini

Georgia travels back to the South of France, where she once cooked at a Michelin restaurant, and spends time in the olive harvest with a family who is carrying on the tradition of making olive oil. We learn about the herbs that are grown by a farmer late in the season to be infused in the olive oil, and how the oil is used by the baker who is baking bread using heirloom wheat.

Georgia travels to the Rosebud Native American Reservation in South Dakota where the Lakota people are pursuing the "7-generation framework" - their vision for the next 150 years. She learns about the work they are doing to reclaim their food sovereignty, their culture and language, to bring their people back to that sacred place of equilibrium that is essential in building a strong tribal nation.

Georgia visits the Catskills in New York, where a couple has created a stunning homestead and serves their community through weekly dinners attracting people from afar. She heads out into the woods, the root cellar, and the kitchen with Jake and Elizabeth as they create a beautiful dinner for their guests. The couple share how they created their space and offer inspiring ideas for entertaining.

Georgia visits two women who are reclaiming the land that their ancestors once worked, while serving their community through food, farming and ranching. Georgia learns about the ways they are trying to impact and teach others to connect with the land and access healthy food. They roll up their sleeves together in the soil and in the kitchen, making recipes passed down through generations.

Georgia visits a florist in Austin, Texas whose sculptural approach to flower arranging is unlike any other. He teaches her his techniques and shares how viewers can create conversation starting pieces. Georgia stops at a tea house to learn from an expert about the ancient and resurgent art of drinking tea, then heads back to the kitchen to make a delicious meal and integrate what she's learned.

Georgia visits Jonathan Beall, owner of Sertodo Copper, who partners with master copper artisans to bring beautiful copperware to the U.S. Georgia visits his workshop to learn about the art of hand hammered copper, and all of the ways it can be used in the kitchen and home.
