OTTAWA – Gusto TV is readying a new original series aimed at millennials that it says takes a fresh approach to the food challenge show genre.
A Is for Apple, set to premiere November 16 at 8:00 and 8:30 PM ET/5:00 and 5:30 pm PT, features three young chefs who base their recipes on letters of the alphabet. Each episode begins with one of the chefs randomly choosing a letter of the alphabet and then shopping for two ingredients that start with that letter, including intriguing combinations as apples and anchovies, bananas and bacon, and vanilla and vinegar. They then create dishes that showcase each ingredient on its own before drawing on their creativity and intuition to come up with one amazing mash-up dish that is as delicious as it is unexpected.
Leah Wildman, Robert Jewell and Lauren Gulyas, described as “a new young chill generation of TV chefs", will help viewers to think about how they can get creative in the kitchen, says the company’s news release.
"With A Is For Apple we want to have some fun with the ingredients and challenge our chefs to think outside the lunchbox," said Gusto TV president and CEO Chris Knight, in the release. "It's exciting to watch them come up with great recipes using two ingredients that you might not think would work together."
Gusto TV is available on Bell TV/Fibe channels 619/1619; Eastlink channel 743; Optik TV/Telus Satellite TV channels 315/619; and MTS channel 46.
