A Lyon In The Kitchen premiered on Discovery Health on April 28, 2007. Chef Nathan Lyon turns the typical cooking show formula on its head, taking viewers on a gourmet adventure with direct-from-the-source ingredients, and demonstrating that cooking with fresh ingredients doesn't have to be complicated. Nathan believes great food starts fresh, and the fresher the ingredients, the better the food. He preaches that buying locally grown, seasonal food not only supports one's community but the food tastes better, often costs less, and is even better for the environment. Nathan shows viewers how to find quality local food sources, from roadside produce stands to hydroponic farms, and then takes them into the kitchen to demonstrate how to create a simple meal from those fresh ingredients. Nathan's new approach goes beyond the taste buds to eye candy, illustrating how to make the most of presentation and unveiling impeccable culinary displays that are sure to wow your family and friends.
