''The Galloping Gourmet'' followed in the footsteps of JuliaChild's ''TheFrenchChef'', creating the first cooking-as-entertainment show.
After a brief stint working in hotels, chef Graham Kerr worked for the British Army as a catering advisor and then moved to New Zealand to do the same for the Royal New Zealand Airforce. Some of his recipes made it into radio segments and magazines while he was in New Zealand, and when television reached the country he would do cooking demonstrations for various shows.
This led to a series of books. One of these, "The Galloping Gourmets", was written around a worldwide tour he and wine expert Len Evans took to sample various styles of cooking. This basic concept formed was used for his TV show, ''The Galloping Gourmet''.
Filmed in Ottawa from 1969 to 1971, each episode would feature footage of Kerr eating dinner with his wife Trina at an exotic locale, followed by a cooking demonstration of one of the dishes. Unlike previous cooking shows, Kerr's recipes would feature ingredients home cooks would have trouble finding, and methods that they would have difficulty duplicating. The cooking was aimed more at entertainment, with Kerr joking with his live audience as he prepared dishes. Each episode would end with Kerr bringing an audience member to the stage to eat his creation.
After his wife's heart attack in 1986, he had a HeelFaceTurn and shifted to working on diet cookbooks. He developed the "[=MinMax=]", which was based on exchanging harmful ingredients. ''The Graham Kerr Show'' used the same format as ''The Frugal Gourmet'', re-creating the original show's recipes using this system. And dieters rejoiced.
