Farm to Table is just one of GTV’s impressive line-up of public-service and educational shows, whose arrival seems very timely, as the negative consequences of the pandemic still persist. The show invites audiences to explore their choices and to appreciate what they still have, and what they can do with it, to come up with something worthwhile. As a platform to rediscover our unique culinary heritage, ‘Farm to Table’ is an imposing stand-out, perhaps, more than that is the fulfilling experience that the show imparts. Of course, while the end goal remains—as Royol explains—eating delectable dishes, the process of preparation could be a separate journey that is worth going through over and over again.
