Behind the scenes at ‘Sergio over the border’: “God damn, are you in my cooking pots again?!” | showbiz

Producer Anja Schellekens and editor/researcher Eline Vangramberen tie us to the apron and lead us to the stove. Not literally, of course, because then we would have to cross half of Europe. What Eline has done very extensively. “I spent about three weeks doing research behind my computer for each episode. Then I went abroad for a week to do prospecting there. That is to say: visiting locations, meeting people, checking dishes and local specialties and researching a lot of practical things, because such a television crew also has to sleep and eat. Back in Belgium we worked everything out into a script. About a month later we went to our destination for the actual shooting.”
