Show format

Episodes generally fall into these topic categories:

  • The cuisine of a particular region, such as China, Southern India, or Tasmania
  • Insight from a particular chef, such as José Andrés, Paul Bartolotta, or Lydia Shire
  • Cuisine involving a common ingredient/item, such as water, bread, or chili peppers
  • A specific facet of food culture, such as people who prefer traditional methods over modern technology, food bloggers, or ancient traditions
  • The intersection of food and the environment, such as "green" cuisine, bovine food, or farm food
  • A specific type of cuisine, such as dessert, trompe l'oeil, or grilling

    • Each episode also features a recipe generally demonstrated by one of Gourmet magazine's editors in their test kitchen. The show is divided into segments, each introduced by an unseen narrator, and featuring relevant experts in on-location discussions.
