Superb scientific-, and informational-content.

Unique course (in Spanish but with English subtitles – ps great way to pick up some Spanish language btw) that deals with seaweeds and algaes. I love this chef's knowledge and care to details and his attitude strikes me as very pleasant and interesting…someone I could imagine sitting with for hours discussing a range of topics. I'm excited to learn more about cooking with these ingredients!
