Meet some of most courageous, skillful and remarkably dedicat-ed girls of these forests. Rescuing a lion stuck in an open well, healing a badly injured lioness with three little cubs in the middle of the night, retrieving away ward leopard from a farmer’s house or catching and releasing a deadly Russell’s viper are all part of their daily job!

A breathtaking beautiful series on Korea and Korean cuisine, featuring Marja Vongerichten, her iconic chef husband, actor Hugh Jackman and Heather Graham.

Korean food isn’t shy. It’s about loud, punchy flavors, about ingredients that take time to pickle and ferment, about soups that come together quickly with a rolling boil and barbeque cooked over an open fire built right into the dinner table. It’s about banchan, the huge variety of side dishes that accompany every Korean meal, and also about communal eating. It’s about sharing food and time with family, about a culture that’s simultaneously rooted in tradition and devoted to innovation. Korean food is healthy, satisfying and it’s entirely fun.

On Kimchi Chronicles, viewers will get to see the country through Marja’s incredible and completely distinct lens. In each episode, she will take you to Korea along with her husband and renowned chef Jean-Georges and their daughter Chloe and other friends like renowned actress Heather Graham.

Then Marja and Jean-Georges will invite you back to their kitchen in New York, along with actor Hugh Jackman and his wife Deb, their real life neighbors. Together, they will create the dishes they fell in love with in Korea and Jean-Georges, a true culinary icon and veritable genius, will also prepare new dishes inspired by the Korean pantry coupled with his command of simple, flavorful and delicious combinations.

It’s worth noting that Marja holds her own in the home kitchen of one of the world’s most renowned chefs and manages to even teach Jean-Georges a thing or two when it comes to gochujang, red pepper paste, and all sorts of other Korean ingredients and family secrets.
