VALENCIA, Calif., March 12,
2024 /CNW/ -- Cunard's culinary expertise will be
featured in season three of Les
Stroud's award-winning TV series Wild Harvest. The
program features "survivorman" Les
Stroud and Master Chef Paul
Rogalski alongside Queen
Elizabeth's culinary team in Alaska. Season three, which airs this
April, was shot on location in Alaska in the ports of Sitka, Haines, Juneau, Icy Straight Point, and Ketchikan while sailing through Hubbard
Glacier.
During their Alaskan adventure, Stroud shares his extreme wisdom
of wild edibles with local foragers, gathering ingredients such as
sour dock, beach parsley, false lily of the valley, bullwhip kelp,
and lily bulb. The wild ingredients are then presented to Chef
Rogalski and members of the Cunard culinary team to collaborate and
create sophisticated gourmet dishes.
Queen Elizabeth Executive Chef
Roland Sargunan and members of his
culinary team create dishes such as Alaskan Seafood with Sour
Dock Chimichurri, Beach Parsley; Alaska Smoked Salmon with Buttered
Sour Dock, Beach Parsley Salad; Bullwhip Peri Peri Chicken;
Bullwhip Kelp Marinate Duck; and Essence of King Bolete with Soy
Stained Chocolate Lilies, Beach Greens.
"Sailing on Cunard's Queen
Elizabeth in Alaska offered
Chef Paul and me the opportunity to share the bounty of the
wilderness in a unique way with our viewers. Approaching these port
towns by sea and learning about the natural beauty of these coastal
waterways all while enjoying the luxury of a Cunard vessel provided
a completely new experience to my team," commented Les Stroud
"Cunard is proud to be part of the acclaimed television program
Wild Harvest to showcase our culinary team while bringing
the Alaskan wildness onboard to our guests and viewers around the
globe," said Katie McAlister,
President of Cunard.
