Gourmet's Diary of a Foodie (also known internationally as Food Lovers Guide to the Planet[1]) is a documentary television program focusing on food, the culture of food, cuisine, and gastronomy.[2] The show is affiliated with Gourmet magazine.[2]
Show format
Episodes generally fall into these topic categories:[2]
- 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.[2] The show is divided into segments, each introduced by an unseen narrator, and featuring relevant experts in on-location discussions.
