A trio of innovative European kitchen brands come together to help launch chef Eric Ripert’s PBS TV series – AVEC ERIC

September 25, 2009 By BLANCO

AVEC_ERIC_Eric_Ripert6249DAbThree international superstars in kitchen design – Poggenpohl kitchen cabinets, Miele appliances and BLANCO sinks/faucets have teamed up to outfit world renowned chef, Eric Ripert for the launch of his first solo TV series on PBS stations, AVEC ERIC.

“I am thrilled to have Poggenpohl, Miele and Blanco associated with my show, and thank them for their generous support of AVEC ERIC,” states Eric Ripert.  Ripert’s kitchen plays an important part in his creative process and is truly a reflection of his holistic approach to food and lifestyle.

Eric Ripert, chef of Le Bernardin restaurant in New York City and fan favorite guest judge on Bravo’s “Top Chef,” stars in his own 10-episode series airing nationally now on PBS stations (check local listings).  AVEC ERIC is co-produced by Anomaly and A La Carte Communications and was directed by Emmy-winning director Geoffrey Drummond. In each episode Chef Ripert guides viewers through a culinary journey to where he finds his sources of inspiration. Shot on location around the world, each show returns to his home kitchen where Ripert translates the inspiration gained from his travels into dishes that home cooks could make themselves – all in stunning surroundings and with high performance tools of the trade.

The white laminate Poggenpohl cabinetry selected for the show provides a clean, modern look, maximum storage and maintains Ripert’s vision for an eco-friendly space. The main island and seating area extends the social and entertainment aspects of the kitchen. Open cabinets and shelving areas provide effortless access to seasonings and tools. Poggenpohl kitchen designers worked closely with Ripert to integrate a countertop where the butcher block surrounds and is flush with the cooktop surface, for a more streamlined cooking process. Established in 1892, Poggenpohl is the world’s oldest kitchen cabinet brand and is available in more than 60 countries. Poggenpohl is the world’s leading luxury kitchen cabinet brand with 13 showrooms and 20 dealers across the United States. www.poggenpohl.com

About Miele

Miele MasterChef Collection™ cooking appliances have long been a favorite of both chefs and novices for their high performance, stunningly clean design and ease-of-use. Ripert’s kitchen includes a convection oven, speed oven, warming drawer and induction cooktop. In addition to these exceptional elements, the kitchen also boasts two Miele dishwashers plus an Independence Series refrigerator and wine storage unit. The refrigeration and wine storage come equipped with RemoteVision™ technology so Miele can alert Ripert if something goes wrong (say a door left open) while he’s on location. Founded in 1899 with a single promise of Immer Besser, a German phrase meaning Forever Better, Miele has dynamically grown to become the world’s largest family-owned appliance company with over 16,000 employees in 44 countries. www.miele.com
