Cook's Country is an American half-hour television cooking show on the PBS channel. It is filmed in a renovated 1806 farmhouse known locally as Carver House (43°15′36″N 73°13′24″W / 43.25988°N 73.22325°W). It is 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 the magazine appears at the start of each episode.
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. Jack Bishop is once again in charge of the Tasting Lab, while Adam Ried continues to feature new products in the Equipment Corner.
In contrast to its predecessor, Cook's Country focuses on recipes that are more rustic, especially those from South or Southwestern America. Christopher Kimball begins each segment with a historical perspective on each recipe prior to the demonstration.
The Tasting Lab segments are filmed before a live audience on location, a farmhouse in Rupert, Vermont.
During Season 1, Kimball's neighbor Axel Blomberg occasionally appeared on-screen with a dish of the featured recipe, exhibiting how the recipe could be badly executed. 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.
