Gordon's Great Escape

In Ep 4 Gordon is in Thailand, home of the UK's fasted growing favourite food. Before he's made it out of Bangkok Thailand's most celebrated TV Chefs signs Gordon up to a battle of the chefs on his TV show at the end of the week.

In Ep 3 Gordon is in Malaysia where he quickly learns it's the women and not the chefs that rule the kitchens. Gordon's week is spent under the wing of some of the country's best female cooks. He's invited to cook his first Malaysian curry.

In Ep 2 Gordon is going off the beaten track to Cambodia. After the years of Khmer Rouge rule and civil war the country was at year zero. Today the country is in recovery and the food is undergoing a revival. Gordon scours the country hunting out historic recipes that pre-date the Khmer Rouge rules.

Gordon touches down in Vietnam - he's never been here before but this nation are fearless foodies; if it moves they eat it and every bit of it!
