Next week, the chefs venture into the heart of the ancient Mayan world! Watch the trailer for the all new Belize episode of BBC America’s all new original adventure-cooking-competition series NO KITCHEN REQUIRED – before the world premiere *** Tuesday May 29 at 10/9c *** only on BBC America.

Amidst the lush jungles of Belize, the modern Mayans welcome our chefs and treat them to traditional Mayan cuisine. The chefs tangle with local animals such as armadillos, iguanas – “it’s a dinosaur, it’s crazy!” – and gibnut – “a rat on steroids!” … using the traditional methods of the locals: knives, machetes and slingshots.

The cooking competition finds all three chefs battling not only each other, but also the native ingredients that have never crossed their plates before. But when the Mayans prove to be tough critics at the tasting, have the chefs done enough to win them over?

From the creators of Chopped, NO KITCHEN REQUIRED follows three chefs as they are dropped into the most exotic and remote places on earth where they will work with the locals to hunt, fish and forage for ingredients to create a locally-inspired meal that will be judged by the community.

The three fearless chefs are:
* Award-winning New York restaurateur Michael Psilakis;
* First-ever Chopped Grand Champion Madison Cowan, who has roots in London, Detroit and Jamaica
and
* New Zealand chef Kayne Raymond.

The trio leave the comforts of their kitchens and are dropped into ten locations around the world including Belize, Dominica, New Zealand, Fiji, Chiang Mai, Thailand, Phuket, Thailand, Hawaii, New Mexico, Louisiana and Florida.

The series is hosted by British presenter Dr. Shini Somara (BBC’s One Show, BBC World News’ The Health Show) – who joins the chefs on the adventure.
