Celebrity chef John Torode is heading back to UKTV for a Korean culinary adventure.

The MasterChef host is to front John Torode’s Korean Food Tour, a 10 x 60-minute series for Good Food.

The show is produced by Denham Productions, best known for producing Rick Stein’s BBC2 series, and will see the Australian eat traditional and modern South Korea cuisine, trying a selection of Korea’s 300 national dishes.

He will visit temples, street food stalls, restaurant kitchens, join families in their homes, head up mountains, take a trip to the seaside, and go to festivals and feast days, in search of Korea’s finest treats.

UKTV has partnered with Hyundai Media in South Korea and the Korea Communications Agency (KCA) to fund the series and the deal was brokered by Amanda Groom-run The Bridge. It is distributed globally by Argonon International.
