MasterChef judge Monica Galetti steps outside her comfort zone as she swaps her chef's whites for wellies and heads for the Jura Mountains in eastern to get hands-on with the produce she uses every day in the London restaurant where she works.

Monica embarks on a road trip through one of the most beautiful yet least known regions in , where, for the first time in her cooking career, she spends time with producers. She sees for herself how their ion translates into world-class ingredients. Immersing herself in a traditional way of life, she s a boar hunt and faces up to the responsibility of eating meat. From beauty contests for cows to cutting down trees, she unlocks the secret to making some of our favourite French cheeses and discovers an ancient profession she never knew existed.
