Called Collaboration Culture the sixth episode in the series will see Jordi and Gaston work together to create some special sweets from four rare potatoes sourced in the High Andes.

It's an ambitious project from the duo to take what is essentially a savory ingredient and make sweet dishes with it. Speaking to the BBC Gaston said, " Potatoes are in the salty world...so if you want to do something new why not make a sweet world for potatoes?"
A challenge that Jordi seems to relish, explaining to the BBC that he loves to create new sweet dishes, "It's perhaps the best feeling you can have as a chef, it's like scoring a goal. The feeling of doing something new...when you're discovering your own path - that feels the best."
The episode will air on BBC World News on the 4th August 2012.
