From a media release:
The docu-soap series One Dish One Spoon returns for its second season on May 4, continuing its exploration of Indigenous food, culture, and community through the work of Haudenosaunee chef Tawnya Brant.
Season 2 expands beyond the kitchen, following Brant as she navigates the realities of building a sustainable food enterprise while remaining grounded in land, language, and community. The series offers an intimate look at the challenges and opportunities of Indigenous entrepreneurship, alongside the role food plays in cultural continuity and identity.
Following its English-language premiere, Season 2 will also be fully versioned in the Mohawk language, Kanien’kéha, and broadcast on APTN Languages in the fall. This initiative supports Indigenous language revitalization and ensures the series is accessible to Mohawk-speaking audiences, reinforcing the connection between food, culture, and language.
“Season 2 is about growth–not just in business, but in understanding how food connects us to who we are and where we come from,” says Brant. “It’s about carrying knowledge forward while creating new opportunities for the next generation.”
Produced by Big Soul Productions, One Dish One Spoon is a character-driven docu-soap that blends personal storytelling with broader themes of community, sustainability, and Indigenous food sovereignty.
Season 2 premieres May 4 on APTN and on APTN+ on May 27 with the Kanien’kéha-language version to air in the fall on APTN Languages.
One Dish One Spoon Season 2 was produced with the participation of the Canada Media Fund and Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.
