This week, Luke travels to Cambodia’s bustling capital city, Phnom Penh, where he finds some unusual treats. On the road to the capital, Luke tries a local delicacy of deep-fried tarantulas, discovering how the spiders are caught live with the local "spider whisperer". In Phnom Penh’s bustling marketplace, Luke cooks a street-food classic with the help of one of Cambodia’s most respected chefs. He then heads to the outskirts of the city, where he cooks a simple but tasty "morning glory" dish. Lastly, Luke ventures further afield to a village whose entire existence is sustained by catching, cooking and eating shrimp!
