About tasteMAKERS:
In tasteMAKERS, Emmy-winning producer and host Catherine Neville is focusing her lens on the artisans who are defining the flavor of American food, offering viewers a unique look at the burgeoning culinary maker movement. This series, which has clearance on about 85% of public television stations nationwide, is a journey into the heart of America, where makers who are focused on flavor create products that reflect the character of their environment as well as their communities.
tasteMAKERS' first 13-episode season of half-hour episodes takes viewers from a shellfish operation in the icy waters off the coast of Washington to a sheep’s milk dairy in the rolling hills of Missouri to a tofu factory in the heart of Chicago to a snail farm on the North Fork of Long Island. Each episode follows a documentary-style story arc, and viewers learn what drives these makers, what inspires them and how they perfected their craft. “Seeking stories over the last 20 years has led me to discover and appreciate the risks these makers take and the determination required to follow their passion,” says Cat. “I've seen first hand the positive impact experienced by those who work each day to create something that is unique and personal and, in tasteMAKERS, I am excited to share their stories.”
