Chef Gordon Ramsay's quest to master the world's most fascinating cuisines lands him on the Indonesian island of Sumatra where he risks his safety and his pride to acquire the ingredients he needs. Whether working as a deckhand in the open ocean, exploring a daunting cave system, milking buffalo or being dragged behind them, Gordon's commitment to world-class cooking is put to the test. With Indonesia's own top chef, William Wongso looking over his shoulder, the pressure is high.

Chef Ramsay embarks on a wild journey through Southern India in an attempt to unlock the complex flavours of the spice trade capital of the world. This time around, Gordon will battle ocean waves with a giant fishing net, fight the searing sting of fire ants, speed through hilly dirt roads in a tiny rally car, and has his mouth set on fire with the extremely spicy local fare. To end his adventure, he'll face his toughest challenge yet when he attempts to impress artisan women cooks with his take on their local cuisine.
