Recipe Rehab is an American cooking competition television program that originally debuted as a short-form web series on YouTube in April 2012, and subsequently became a half-hour television series on October 6, 2012 as part of the ABC station-primarily syndicated Litton's Weekend Adventure block. As such, it was the first web series produced as a YouTube original program to become a weekly network television series. Since September 28, 2013, Recipe Rehab has aired on CBS as part of Litton's CBS Dream Team Saturday morning block; first-run episodes continued to air until July 25, 2015, with reruns airing until September 26. The television program is designed to meet educational programming requirements defined by the Federal Communications Commission.
The program features healthly lifestyle and competition elements, with each episode featuring two competing chefs who each develop their own healthier versions of the featured family's recipe. The winning dish is determined by a panel of certified nutritionists (currently as of the 2014-15 season, Stephanie Clarke and Willow Jarosh, both registered dietitians with Master's degrees in science) and the family featured in the given episode. Each dish is rated on a categorical score from 1 to 10, based on the total percentage of total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sugar and/or sodium content reduced in the "rehabbed" recipe in comparison to the original; the ease and length of preparation between the two "rehabbed" recipes (both categories are determined by the nutrionist panel); and the taste of the healthier dish (which is determined by the family). These scores are combined into the maximum cumulative score of 30, determining the chef with the episode's winning recipe.
