New Food Series Under Way for VIVA

TORONTO: Kaleidoscope Entertainment has started production on a new nutrition-based cooking series, Healthy Gourmet, for Canadian women’s channel VIVA, with shooting slated to wrap in Ontario in June.

The show pits nutritionist Julie Daniluk against Chef Ezra Title in the ongoing battle of taste vs. nutrition. Healthy Gourmet heads outside of the traditional home setting with unique groups of real people. Each episode follows the quest to help the chosen group find the right balance between food that’s healthy for them and still tasty.

“We know from our research that food and nutrition are a priority for women in this demo, but so is taste, which is why Healthy Gourmet is going to be a great addition to the VIVA schedule,” said Vibika Bianchi, the director of original productions for women’s specialty at Corus Entertainment.
