CNN International’s acclaimed cook-centric programme ‘Culinary Journeys’ evolves in 2016 as it embarks on a new series of mouth-watering adventures.

Shot in stunning locations spanning the continents, ‘Culinary Journeys’ heads for destinations renowned for their unique brand of hospitality.

The first show of the new series features Philippines’ chef Margarita Forés, recently voted 2016 Asia’s Best Female Chef.

Filipino food is rarely mentioned amongst the stars of Asia’s culinary scene, but Forés is determined to change perceptions – one dish at a time. ‘Culinary Journeys’ follows Forés on her quest as she invites viewers to learn about a new side of Filipino food.

Starting in the Philippines capital, Manila, Forés walks through the market where her passion for food was first formed. The chef’s efforts in pushing the possibilities of Filipino ingredients are evident in the restaurant ‘Grace Park’, which is part of Forés’ culinary empire in the capital.

The real journey starts when Forés takes ‘Culinary Journeys’ down to Negros, the island where she spent her childhood summers amongst the sugar cane fields: Forés shows how the local cuisine was born out of its sweetest crop creating some of the Philippines’ best desserts, and how its harbours have attracted Latin American flavours.

Over the course of her 30-year career, Forés has prepared dinners for three Philippine presidents, Spanish royals as well as US Presidents George Bush and Barack Obama. Forés’ culinary journey culminates with her hosting a meal back at her ancestral home in Manila, where she shares the best of the Philippines with family and friends.

Ten airlines, nine countries, eight days, one journey around the world in low cost. ‘CNN Business Traveller’ host Richard Quest (pictured) sets off to show just how far you can go on low cost airlines, accepting viewer challenges along the way, all the whilst showing how these carriers are changing the game for the airline industry.

Part two of his around the world journey starts off in Singapore at the number one airport in the world: Changi, where Quest experiences the social tree before he scoots off on his next flight via Scoot, to Sydney, Australia.

Quest and team enjoy a short ferry ride on the harbour before heading off to Hawaii via JetStar, crossing the International Date Line, and re-living that Friday all over again. There’s enough time for Quest to dip his toe in the waters of Honolulu before jumping back on a plane to Los Angeles on Allegiant – allowing the ‘CNN Business Traveller’ team a few hours’ sleep before jetting off to NYC via jetBlue.

A classic NY style hot dog and a picture on Brooklyn Bridge, then onwards to the last leg. Norwegian Air takes the team to the finish line at London’s Gatwick airport, proving it is possible to go around the world in eight days only in low cost.

CNN International’s ‘Make, Create, Innovate’ series explores new inventions and technologies. This month, the programme looks at how technology is changing the way the world is designed and constructed.

The episode reports on how robots and artificial intelligence are ushering in a new era of computational architecture at ETH Zurich, Switzerland – where shapes, forms and buildings are conceived and created by machines.

‘Make, Create, Innovate’ also meets Julia Greer, professor of material science at Caltech in California, who is re-imagining architecture… at the nanoscale.

Greer has focused her studies on nano-scale phenomena and has been designing new approaches to creating structures and lattices at a scale that almost boggles the mind – a structure smaller than the diameter of a human hair that is 99 per cent air, yet at the macro-scale, is stronger than steel.
