This month, ‘Culinary Journeys’ reports from Mumbai, India’s richest and most populous city.
For years, wave after wave of immigrants from all over India have travelled to Mumbai bringing their culinary treasures with them. From street-food staples to the gastronomic legacy of the Mughal emperors, Indian cuisine is ancient, rich, and diverse in its culinary customs, ethnic influences, and flavours.
‘Culinary Journeys’ follows acclaimed chef Sanjeev Kapoor (pictured), a culinary master whose television cooking shows have been a guide for many aspiring home cooks. A true ambassador of Indian cuisine and hospitality, the chef takes viewers inside the kaleidoscope of colours, flavours and social gatherings that surround India’s five-day festival of lights.
Religions make up a large portion of the cultural fabric of India; all the different regional variations and rituals are reflected in its gastronomy – particularly at times of festivity. Diwali is such a celebration – one that is expressed through the medium of food.
Observed in Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism, the event is marked by the lighting of oil lamps and celebrated by the sharing of sweet snacks: a true expression of the country’s hospitality, a concept based on the principle ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’, meaning ‘the guest is God’.
As Mumbai’s streets and homes light up and grandmothers gather in each other’s kitchens to cook up treats, ‘Culinary Journeys’ joins in the preparations ahead of one of India’s most iconic festivals.

‘CNN Business Traveller’ goes behind-the-scenes at the MasterCard Innovation Labs in New York City to test out some new toys, such as the Ringly, a piece of jewellry which embedded with payment technology and can grant travellers access to transportation in some of the world’s most visited cities.
The programme meets Pepper (pictured), a robot which pairs with Mastercard Masterpass designed to assist customers checking in and out, with upgrades and payments.
The exploration of new technologies continues in Japan where ‘CNN Business Traveller’ experiences a new trend – First Cabin’s Capsule Hotel, designed to attract the business traveller with both style and function.
The programme also experiences a hands-free hotel room at the Aflot Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts, which allows guests to control their hotel experience through the sound of their voice and order room service by texting emojis.
Very few people know more about the pace of change in travel than 80-year old Bette Nash, the world’s most senior flight attendant. Nash grew up with the airline industry, with a career spanning nearly six decades. ‘CNN Business Traveller’ travels on a flight with Nash as she shares the life lessons she’s learned at 30,000 feet, and why her love of travel is just as strong as it ever was.

In November, ‘Vital Signs with Dr. Sanjay Gupta’ examines disease reversals, and how research can help manage the symptoms of the most debilitating diseases.
The programme meets Mike McDuff (pictured), who was diagnosed with ALS, the neurodegenerative disease, in 2012. On being told there was very little that could be done, McDuff’s condition deteriorated rapidly, leaving him wheelchair-bound and eating through a feeding tube.
‘Vital Signs’ reveals that on a friend’s recommendation, McDuff tried a nutritional supplement, and started to see improvements by regaining the ability to swallow and speak.
Now four years on, the programme sees how McDuff is now able to manage his condition and meets teams of doctors who are tracking down rare cases of disease reversals, from ALS to strokes and diabetes, in the hope of both understanding and better managing these conditions.
