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.
The show's tenth season will air in the fall of 2017.
Cook's Country is structured similarly to America's Test Kitchen, with many of the same cast. Christopher Kimball, Bridget Lancaster and Julia Collin-Davison are primarily featured, with Erin McMurrer joining the regular cast 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. 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.
Julia Collin-Davison did not appear during Season 2, having given birth to a daughter shortly before that season's episodes were filmed. She returned in Season 3.
On November 16, 2015, a news release from Boston Commons Press, parent company of Cooks Country, Cooks Illustrated, and America's Test Kitchen, announced the departure of Christopher Kimball over a contract dispute. The 2016 TV programs had already been filmed with Kimball as the host, but he would not appear on any future episodes.
