Want to guarantee you eat well on your next trip? Then book a cooking vacation. Thats exactly what Gourmet Editor in Chief Ruth Reichl did for this 10-episode culinary journey. In Gourmets Adventures with Ruth, she uncovers the best cooking schools on five continents and brings along a host of her foodie and actor friends to sharpen their skills. Ruth came back with a suitcase of recipes and a new understanding of what it means to cook in another culture—and so will you. For the series premiere, Ruth and actress Frances McDormand travel to Blackberry Farm, a Tennessee idyll where fly-fishing, beekeeping, and sophisticated Southern recipes are all on the menu. In other episodes, Ruth is whisked away to Marrakech, Morocco, for lessons on couscous and tagines, with Lorraine Bracco and to Bath, England, for secrets of homemade bread with Dianne Wiest. Plus, she fishes Seattle with Tom Skerritt and explores New York Citys Indian community with Jeffrey Wright. CHECK YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC TELEVISION LISTINGS FOR AIR DATES IN YOUR AREA.
