Season three of documentary cooking show Moosemeat & Marmalade will feature two episodes filmed in Yellowknife.

The show brings together co-stars Dan Hayes, a classically trained French chef from the United Kingdom, and Art Napoleon, an experienced hunter and outdoor cook of Cree and Dane Zaa descent to explore and share their different culinary traditions.

Napoleon said he was really impressed with the culinary scene Yellowknife had to offer.

SA国际影视传媒淵ou get the best of both worlds in Yellowknife,SA国际影视传媒� Napoleon told Yellowknifer. SA国际影视传媒淚t has a mixture of old and new. They have that ancient Dene culture thatSA国际影视传媒檚 always been there, and itSA国际影视传媒檚 got the funky, urban vibe in the downtown. You can have it all there.SA国际影视传媒�

One of the Yellowknife episodes will feature the citySA国际影视传媒檚 quintessential seafood restaurant, BullockSA国际影视传媒檚 Bistro.

SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檝e always admired that place, ISA国际影视传媒檇 call that a character place,SA国际影视传媒� Napoleon said. SA国际影视传媒淚 think itSA国际影视传媒檚 a landmark with amazing comfort soul food.SA国际影视传媒�

Napoleon said another thing he likes about Yellowknife is the sense of adventure the city evokes with its proximity to the lake. He said they also had the chance to go out on the water and film while fishing.

SA国际影视传媒淚t was quite the experience. I had never been caught in a storm out on open water. Even with mild waves, my legs turn to rubber and I feel like puking,SA国际影视传媒� Napoleon said. SA国际影视传媒淚t lasted almost an hour!SA国际影视传媒�

The crew made it off the boat safely, which Napoleon credited to their expert fishing guide, Shawn Buckley.

SA国际影视传媒淭he fish is good quality because the lake in Yellowknife is deep and cold,SA国际影视传媒� Napoleon said.

Napoleon got his start with traditional cooking methods when he was a kid and living with his grandparents, who spoke no English.

SA国际影视传媒淐ree was the language of the house. We still followed the cycles of the land,SA国际影视传媒� Napoleon said. SA国际影视传媒淏ecause we were so remote, we shopped in town for the basics, but largely, we ate food from the garden and from the land.SA国际影视传媒�

Napoleon said he grew up learning how to live off the land from his grandparents and his community SA国际影视传媒� when the best time to snare rabbits is, how to hunt moose, how to make dry meat in the smokehouse, and so much more.

SA国际影视传媒淎s kids, we all had to pitch in. Everyone in the family had a role,SA国际影视传媒� Napoleon said. SA国际影视传媒淲e learned by doing.SA国际影视传媒�

Which is why when Napoleon was four or five, and he first moved into a house with electricity with his grandparents, he took an interest in learning how to make the foods he saw on commercials SA国际影视传媒� on the television they had with only one black-and-white channel.

SA国际影视传媒淚 actually didnSA国际影视传媒檛 know what a lot of the food was, but I was trying to imitate the food I saw. I tried to make a pizza with bannock dough spread out nice and thin, and then half-cooked ichiban noodles SA国际影视传媒� because the TV was black-and-white, the shredded mozzarella looked like noodles,SA国际影视传媒� Napoleon said.

He said heSA国际影视传媒檚 been experimenting with food ever since.

SA国际影视传媒淚 like eating, and therefore I had to learn to cook,SA国际影视传媒� Napoleon said.
