''Cook's Country'' is an American half-hour television cooking show on the PBS channel. It is shot in a renovated 1806 farmhouse located in Rupert, Vermont. The show is based on ''Cook's Country'' magazine (published by the same company as Cook's Illustrated) and a cover of it appears at the start of each episode. == Cast and content == ''Cook's Country'' is structured similarly to ''America's Test Kitchen'', with nearly the same cast. Christopher Kimball, Bridget Lancaster and Julia Collin-Davison are primarily featured, with Erin McMurrer making occasional appearances beginning in Season 2. As in America's Test Kitchen, Jack Bishop is in charge of the Tasting Lab, while Adam Ried features new products in the Equipment Corner. While ''Cook's Country'' follows an identical show format, there are notable differences between the two. ''Cook's Country'' features recipes that are more rustic and commonly thought of as "comfort food". There is emphasis on recipes from different sections of America, specifically from the South and Southwestern cultures. Christopher Kimball also begins each segment with a historical perspective on each recipe prior to the demonstration. The Tasting Lab segments feature a live audience, who watch as Kimball and Bishop taste-test the featured product(s). This is fundamentally different from America's Test Kitchen, where only Kimball and Bishop are shot. During Season 1, Kimball's neighbor Axel Blomberg would occasionally appear on-screen with a dish of the featured recipe, claiming that his wife Donna had made it and that it was usually badly executed, in keeping with the "country" theme of the show. This is similar to the beginning of recipe segments on America's Test Kitchen, where Kimball would display the featured item before the changes of the chefs were applied. Some of Blomberg's commonly uttered phrases were, "Donna done it again!", and "You're the expert" (referring to Kimball's suggestions to make the recipe better). He does not appear in any episodes after Season 1. The theme music, "Right Between Your Eyes", is performed by the San Francisco bluegrass band, Hot Buttered Rum. A title card at the end of each episode of Season 1 reads "In Memory of Felicia Armstrong (1978–2007)", a kitchen assistant murdered on November 1, 2007. Julia Colin-Davison did not appear during any Season 2 episode, having given birth to a daughter shortly before that season's episodes were scheduled to be shot. She returned in Season 3. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cook's Country」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
