BBC America’s new cooking series premieres tonight with its first installment ‘No Kitchen Required – Dominica.’
No Kitchen Required is a reality cooking show that features three chefs who are dropped into the most exotic and remote places on earth. There they must work with the locals to hunt, fish and forage for ingredients to create locally-inspired meals that will be judged by the communities.
In the first episode the chefs are dropped in Dominica. Equipped with only their knives and secret ingredients of choice, they are welcomed by the host of the series Dr. Shini Somara and the Kalinago community.
After a traditional performance by the Kalinagos and an exquisite feast, the chefs set out in search for the ingredients for their meals. They must first master spearfishing, track a manicou through the dense jungle, blindly hunt for crustaceans in dangerously murky water and forage for tropical fruits and root vegetables like coconuts and yams.
Then they are expected to combine these ingredients to create a delectable feast for their hosts against driving winds and rain before time runs out.
NO Kitchen Required – Dominica premieres at 10:00pm ET/PT.
BBC America can be found on Marpin channel 43 and SAT – Channel 42 straight/Channel 20 on the box.
See video below for a first sneak peek of No Kitchen Required – Dominica.

These guys can’t cook. They all used the locals to make them look good. The thing is that they just can’t cook! Another form of exploitation by outside forces.
No dumb it’s exposure not exploitation. I guess u like to hear people say they’ve never heard of your island.
what happnd the show its not showing in channal we are egarly wghtng for progrme at 10 pm every day so please replyme is it any complications?
From the beginning I knew the Caribs were gonna choose Caine heheh…
We are not Caribs you mook. Stop calling us that.
It looked as if those manicous were placed there.
Learnt a new recipe on the show: manicou rapped in breadfruit. LOL
that should be…wrapped in breadfruit
Yeah I most def learnt a new recipe..
Since when is a coconut a root vegatable?? Hmmmm…
The crayfish made my mouth water
saw it and loved it…ok a bit of light humor…i want to know how is it that when the Kalinagos gave those 3 chefs to sample the “traditional drink” it didn’t fro dem down….i KNOW is a ole galbanzo dey give dem man – how they remain standing is what i want to know LOL
All thanks to my Beautiful kalinago people for making Dominica recognizable. An award should be given to them cause without them Dominica would not be seen on tv all over the world.
really now! we are all Dominican
loved the show ….. enjoyed the show…… oh laughable. wonderful work nice job kalinagos………..couldn’t stop laughing………. there was one kalinago elder he was just eating and not commenting ,,,,, my husband couldn’t stop laughing, that was his favourite judge lol………. fantastic job… looking forward for future episodes…

Watched it…..Loved it…very entertaining and great job to our Kalinagos and lastly our DOMINICA is so so beautiful!!!
The show was awesome….I hope that you will fit into it again….Very good promotion for Dominica
Dominica has Leopards?
*Scratches head*
Looked at the show last night. I couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear! My country looked soooooo beautiful…LOVED it!!!
i thought i was the only one. i could n stop smiling. it was great!!!!!
It was mouth watering , the provisions and the wild life miss all that in the V.I . Hats of to the producers & organisers.
Watched it last night! Fantastic.. Dominica sooo beautiful. And the chefs repelling down the cliff.. Big reviews for DA..
These men physical profile look moor like military men than your regular cookie.
way to go d/a big tings are gone …mauh
Man that was exciting. Go Dominica.
what a great show. Thanks DNO for informing Dominicans about the show. So entertaining. I laughed my guts out after a hard and stressful day on the job.
This was a great reality show…loved the way the people enjoyed our Island….Despite the wind and the rain they were still able to create a special dish with the local items the found…Chef Madison was great…Chef Micheal was great and Chef Cain was great…Way to go D.A…one love
EXCELLENT SHOW… I enjoyed every minute of it! ONE PROBLEM…..Why books? what happen to laptops? or computers? or scholarships? OR CASH? Anyway, excellent show…..Great exposure for Dominica.
oh shut up u ungrateful piece of . the kalinago people are not like u.they appriciate whatever they get as long it benifits the children. t
hey… this has nothing to with the appreciation. for the amount of money that show made…. they should give something more than just books…. i am sure they could have given laptops…. what happen to scholarships…..when it come to our KALINAGO, it is always books. that’s the point. they could have give scholarships up to grade 6.
At least they gave something and some recognition
the latter part of your comment is unfortunate. lets note take a great opp and experience for our country and spoil it. the gesture was wonderful

I AM SO EXCITED!!! CANT WAIT!!! LOL..
VERY PROUD OF MY LOVELY DOMINICA!!
It’ll be a miracle if these chefs aren’t held up and robbed at some point, eh? What a place Dominica has become. Ah, yes, yes. Dislike my comment for me “not being positive,” though I only speak the uncomfortable truth.
even its the truth lets think positive
its a pre-taped show not live. u just being negative is all
@ Sam Harris So true……and the plain truth is always uncomfortable whether we are prepared to admit it or not.
You have a right to your comments and they are warranted. I do not support the crimes that are happening and it is unfortunate. But this represents a small group of people. Just like crimes happen where you are from in greater degree and people still visit. If you have experienced any such situation am sorry but know not all of Dominica is in support of these negative acts. Visitors now need to be more cautious when travelling to the caribbean in general the preconceived notion that anything applies needs to be revisited.
omg what a beaut thanks god for dominica the naturel island in all the caribben love u da and will never stop lovein u
Well we all know that ‘ no kitchen is required to eat in DA’… All you need is 4 stones, wood for fire, a pot and your food. I’ll be watching and recording the show for my kids…
Come on people, put a reminder on your phone for 10 pm tonight. I don’t know why but I’m excited!

Je ne peut pas vous aider! Toute ce que je sais, c’est il est sur le BBC L’Amerique. Désolée mon frère!
I live here and OMG I never knew my island was soooo beautiful. I mean I hear it all the time but WOW! We live in paradise and we dont even know it.
Your so right. I know that Dominica is beautiful and I learnt to appreciate even more after moving to the United States. There are places I never knew excisted. Great exposure, but now we have to get rid of the rogues and thieves who will prevent Dominica from being the one of the safest and most beautiful place on earth. The Government and the police need to step up and do something about it. We don’t want Dominica to get like some of the other Island. I believe these days, there no fear of God and drugs can really that to you.
Yesssss Dominica I seeing you I like that we moving on up!!!!
My country is BEAUTIFUL. Positive vibes right there
