Each episode also features a recipe generally demonstrated by one of Gourmet magazine's editors in their test kitchen.[2]
The show is divided into segments, each introduced by an unseen narrator, and featuring relevant experts in on-location discussions.
Production
The show came about because executives at WGBH wanted to capture the "foodie" audience. WGBH turned to New York-based Zero Point Zero Production led by Lydia Tenaglia and Michael Selditch. Zero Point Zero produced the show with WGBH, in association with Gourmet magazine and Discovery Networks International. Director of Photography Zach Zamboni used a Panasonic AG-DVX100 camcorder to capture the footage.[3]
