Award Winning 'Chefs A'Field' Series Returns With An Eco-Friendly Approach

Janson Media today announced the release of the fourth season of Chefs A"Field: Green Cuisine (13 x 30'), to international Television, VOD, New Media and DVD/Video markets.

This fall, the Emmy-nominated PBS series Chefs A" Field has returned with a bumper crop of new and exciting episodes. Fresh from the farm and sea, the highly anticipated fourth season offers a visual feast of culinary adventures emphasizing sustainability and the use of fresh, healthy ingredients. Filmed in a wide range of locations—from Hawaii"s rich volcanic beaches to Mexico"s dense Yucatan jungle, from lush Pennsylvania fruit orchards to the spectacular Yukon River—the fourth season showcases America"s best chefs, who, with family and friends, visit local farmers and fishermen to learn about eco-friendly foods. Then it"s back to the kitchen for a behind-the-scenes cooking lesson in which the professional techniques of the restaurant kitchen are simplified to inspire people of all ages and skill levels to get cooking.

Chefs A"Field, a James Beard Award winner for 'Best National Television Cooking Show' and 'Best Television Food Special' was one of the first programs in the television cooking genre to focus on environmental issues pertaining to food, travel and lifestyle. In Season 4, that tradition continues, with a strong focus on sustainable agriculture and seafood, shopping with an environmental mindset, ideas for getting the whole family closer to where their food comes from, and ways to prepare a delicious meal with healthful ingredients.

A small taste of what the critics are saying:

&'Chefs A"Field looks scrumptious and comes at an opportune time, just as sustainable agriculture breaks through to the forefront. ... Though it is the first cooking program in HDTV, we were most impressed with the subject matter, skillful camera work (apparent even without HDTV) and leisurely pace that celebrates its subject without getting preachy.&' — Chicago Tribune

Filmed in true high definition on HDCAM, the new batch of episodes explores the diverse faces and places of America"s food landscape in a visually stunning format. Exclusive behind-the-scenes footage in America"s best restaurants, combined with family-friendly cooking lessons, will keep viewers salivating from episode to episode.
