THE PERFECT MEAL

The Perfect Meal travels from Greece and Cyprus, to France, Spain, the UK and the USA, to reveal the science of the Mediterranean Diet through the work of leading scientists including Cecilia Samieri (Bordeaux-France), Miguel Martínez-González (Navarra-Spain), Nikolaos Scarmeas (Athens-Greece) and Walter Willett (USA). These central characters of the film have dedicated their lives to discovering how certain ingredients and combinations of plant based foods affect our health: how and why they protect us from obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancers and brain-ageing, but also how this diet can help mitigate the effects of climate change. The documentary also observes how inspirational chefs work with scientists to spread the popularity of this plant based diet to both our daily meals and haute cuisine.
