Feeding 300 mouths a day is a daunting challenge. Attempting to do it with minimum resources is near impossible. However, for 30 years that's exactly what 90-year-old Señora Maria of Belmesa, Peru, has been doing. Under her direction, not a day has passed where a child under her care went hungry. With limited resources come challenges; money, quality food, time, manpower.

Plate it Forward is a documentary series that challenges celebrity chefs to meet these limitations with positive change. At the end of each episode the chef will challenge a fellow Chef to do the same, and see if they have what it takes to Plate It Forward.
