About this season
Created 20 years ago by Chris Knight, COOK LIKE A CHEF is returning in fresh, new, and exciting chapter. The renewed series repeats its predecessor’s recipe for success by featuring innovative chefs as they explore and explain the arcana of cooking techniques. Breaking the fourth wall, each episode centers on a single ingredient or theme, as prepared by an expert chef in a 360-degree cooking environment. The new season of COOK LIKE A CHEF is more homage than retread; still carefully constructed on the same foundation of classical technique as the original, it is also improved by the inclusion of modernist innovations, diverse cultural influences, and a nod to newer attitudes linking good food to good health. To guide us through this exploration are Chefs Derek Dammann, Natalia Machado, Katie Ardington, and Craig Wong.
