Notes

A followup to Entertaining with Kerr, a popular series Graham Kerr hosted for Australian TV.

One of the highest-rated cooking programs of its day, with British-born Graham Kerr becoming a superstar in Canada and the US, The Galloping Gourmet was known for featuring recipes with a focus on the decadent side of cooking, as well as humor, plus occasional celebrity guests. Kerr was forced to discontinue the series due to injury; when he returned to television, he had abandoned the high-fat lifestyle of the past and his subsequent programs focused on healthy, low-fat recipes.

Videotaped in Ottawa.

zabadak 24th Mar 2017		I wonder if his brother Wayne got much TV work... :sideways:



zabadak 16th Sep 2015		@zabadak. Are you one of our members from Australia/NZ? About as far away as you can get - I'm here waving (drowning?) in the Yook! :thumbsup:



carey jeggs 15th Sep 2015		When he invited a member of the audience to come up and sample what he'd cooked he'd give them the same fork he'd just used to taste it himself.



TheJudge 14th Sep 2015		This series was shown as a filler on BBC TV in the early 70s. His more recent series (where he'd gone over to healthier cuisine) was shown in mid-afternoon slots in some ITV regions in the 90s.



23skidoo 14th Sep 2015		@zabadak. Are you one of our members from Australia/NZ? I know Kerr was very popular down there which is why he got his show in Canada. For me, I do believe Galloping Gourmet is possibly my earliest TV memory as I recall my mom watching this all this time when it was first run, so I would have been 2 or 3. Kerr fell off the radar for decades after that until a cooking channel started to run some of his more recent stuff and it really wasn't the same! I mean, good on him for promoting healthier foods and low-fat cooking, but Galloping Gourmet was almost a variety show in its heyday.



zabadak 14th Sep 2015		We used to watch this! Along with Fanny Cradock, Kerr was among the first "celebrity chefs" we heard about... :happy:
