Season three of Les Stroud’s acclaimed television series Wild Harvest will showcase Cunard’s culinary prowess, as “Survivorman” Les Stroud and Master Chef Paul Rogalski team up with Queen Elizabeth’s culinary experts in the breathtaking landscapes of Alaska. The upcoming season, set to premiere this April, was filmed on location in Alaska, encompassing the ports of Sitka, Haines, Juneau, Icy Straight Point, and Ketchikan, while navigating through the majestic Hubbard Glacier.
Throughout their Alaskan expedition, Stroud imparts his extensive knowledge of wild edibles to local foragers, sourcing ingredients like sour dock, beach parsley, false lily of the valley, bullwhip kelp, and lily bulb. These foraged treasures are then presented to Chef Rogalski and the Cunard culinary team, fostering collaborative efforts to craft refined gourmet dishes.
Executive Chef Roland Sargunan of the Queen Elizabeth, along with his culinary artisans, conjure up tantalizing creations such as Alaskan Seafood with Sour Dock Chimichurri and Beach Parsley, Alaska Smoked Salmon with Buttered Sour Dock and Beach Parsley Salad, Bullwhip Peri Peri Chicken, Bullwhip Kelp Marinated Duck, and Essence of King Bolete with Soy Stained Chocolate Lilies and 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.
Wild Harvest airs worldwide, reaching audiences in more than 60 countries, spanning India and China, as well as being broadcasted on 450 American Public Television (PBS) stations across all 50 states. Additionally, it enjoys a partnership with the esteemed media entity Blue Ant Media in Canada.
