Jonathan Phang's Gourmet Express S01E02 - Bucharest to Istanbul

Jonathan Phang retraces Queen of crime Agatha Christie's footsteps in a journey which inspired her most famous novel - Murder On The Orient Express. This sees him travelling from Bucharest to Istanbul through the Carpathian Mountains to the former royal resort of Sinaia - where he cooks a wild venison dinner in a hunting lodge. In Bucharest Jonathan explores the emerging food scene and cooks with Mircea Dinescu, a poet and political revolutionary turned restaurateur. In Istanbul Jonathan explores both the traditional and more cutting edge food scene, meeting Istanbul's only female shop owner in the historic spice market.
