This program showcases America’s best chefs who, with family and friends, visit local farmers and fishermen to learn about eco-friendly foods. Then, it is back to the kitchen for a behind-the-scenes cooking lesson. Here the professional techniques of the restaurant kitchen are simplified to inspire people of all ages and skill levels to get cooking.
