The Galloping Gourmet

The Galloping Gourmet is a classic 1960s British cooking series starring Graham Kerr, one of television's first culinary superstars who rose to fame for his frenetic and hilarious cooking style, combining techniques and recipes he learned during his travels around the world and presenting them to viewers with his trademark comedic style. This series takes its name from a cookbook written by Kerr and wine expert Len Evans, who traveled the world in search of exotic and delicious cuisine. Kerr became a worldwide sensation for his kitchen antics and this show earned a rabid following, as well as two Emmy nominations during its two year run. In his later years, Kerr became known for creating dishes in his "minimax" style, which minimized fats and cholesterol while maximizing flavor. However, this series is known for Kerr's copious use of cream and butter, creating rich dishes that he insisted everyone deserved to treat themselves to once in a while. MORE
