How Your Food Works debuts February 14 on BBC Earth


TORONTO — Blue Ant Media announced today a new two-part series that uncovers the hidden science of how food is grown, processed and cooked, How Your Food Works, will debut on BBC Earth this Sunday.

How Your Food Works has its Canadian broadcast premiere on February 14 at 9 p.m. ET/PT as part of BBC Earth’s nationwide free preview, which runs until April 4. Episode two of the series will air Sunday, February 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

The show features expert insights from Australian chef Paul West, nutrition and dietetics specialist Prof. Clare Collins, and research scientist Dr. Noby Leong (above).

“Together, the three illustrate that by understanding how our food works, down to a cellular or even molecular level, we’re empowered to find better ways to improve flavour, eat healthier and make better decisions about what we eat. In all the food we make, there is a dash of chemistry, a bit of biology and even a smattering of physics,” reads Blue Ant’s press release.

“This series investigates the traditional craft of fruit preservation, the science behind cooking the perfect medium-rare steak, the scoop on discovering the ‘bliss point’ that makes humans crave certain treats and the startling insights different hot and spicy foods provide. How Your Food Works ensures viewers will look at their favourite foods in a whole new light,” says the release.

How Your Food Works is part of the Catalyst collection produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
