india with food is love
November 4-11, 2024
Join Limitless Planet, Food is Love, and Chef Lasse Sorensen on a trip that will stimulate every bit of your being. Indeed, this is India, an adventure like none other.
"This is indeed India! The land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendor and rags, of palaces and hovels, of famine and pestilence, of genii and giants and Aladdin lamps, of tigers and elephants, the cobra and the jungle, the country of hundred nations and a hundred tongues, of a thousand religions and two million gods, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of traditions, whose yesterday’s bear date with the modering antiquities for the rest of nations-the one sole country under the sun that is endowed with an imperishable interest for the alien prince and alien peasant, for lettered and ignorant, wise and fool, rich and poor, bond and free, the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the world combined." -Mark Twain
This trip includes a visit to the Taj Mahal, a safari to see the elusive Bengal tiger in Ranthambore National Park, the holy city of Varanasi, and incredible street food and fine dining,

Chef Lasse Sorensen
Born and raised on the outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark, Chef Lasse Sorensen is no stranger to food. Growing up, he spent a lot of time in the kitchen helping his father, who was a pastry chef for the royal family. He then went on to complete several apprenticeships before earning his own title as a Master Chef, even joining the Culinary Olympic Team of Denmark, before moving to the United States in 1989 to pursue other opportunities, including his dream of opening his own restaurant. For more than 20 years, Sorensen, along with his wife Mary Jane, have owned and operated a fine dining restaurant called Tom’s Place in Southern Illinois.
His culinary experience, paired with his passion for St. Louis and its diverse culture sparked the idea for “Food is Love,” a series that not only focuses on the area’s best and most authentic food dishes but also the concept of how food can bring people together.
From Tunisian food in Benton Park to Korean food on the Landing, viewers follow along as Chef Lasse explores local neighborhoods and the stories of the cooks behind each restaurant. "Telling the story of the person cooking is really telling the story of the food," says Chef Lasse.
