Himself He Cooks

[Machine Translation] A new and old way of dining, directed by an active chef. This is the first behind-the-scenes look at the "Free Dining Room" that has been in existence for over 500 years at the Harimandir Sahib (Golden Temple), a sacred site in India, and the "Sacred Kitchen" that prepares 100,000 servings of bean curry every day! Directed by Belgian couple Philippe Witjes and Valerie Bert, who also work as chefs in the mobile kitchen. Inspired by the concept of the centuries-old "Sacred Kitchen" at the Golden Temple, they decided to make a film. They were inspired by the concept of the "Sacred Kitchen," which has been in existence for centuries at the Golden Temple, and decided to make a film about the "big feast" where visitors enjoy a pot of rice without any discrimination or prejudice, and the free labor of the people who support it. The sight of this reminds us of the origin of "food" as a human activity, even though we have become accustomed to eating fast food and convenience store bento lunches by ourselves. This is an excellent short trip documentary that will relax your mind with the scenery of a dining table in a golden temple in India, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
