 Anna & Kristina's Grocery Bag

Our award-winning show Anna & Kristina's Grocery Bag premiered in September 2008 and is now filming a fourth season in 2012.

We conduct tests of cookbooks and kitchen products from the perspective of the average consumer. And remember, we're not trained chefs!

Our main goal: to see if the chosen cookbook delivers on its promises as we try to recreate the servings in the photographs and produce delicious, or at least edible, meals.

We start by selecting a well-known cookbook, reading it cover-to-cover, and trying out many of the recipes in the month before we tape our show. Then we chose the final recipes for our test menu, set a date, and invite a real gourmet chef over to taste test our results at the end of the day. Talk about high pressure!

We also test various kitchen tools and ingredients we'll need for our menus, with help from both experts and everyday people. Once we've figured out the best product for the job, we put it to use in our test kitchen on the big cooking day.

Then, based on our experience working with the cookbook for a month, the feedback from our guest chef-judge, and the final results we taste on the plate, we decide whether the cookbook earns the A & K Stamp of Approval.

Anna & Kristina's Beauty Call

Just another run-of-the-mill makeover show? No way!

In our fashion-based show, Anna & Kristina's Beauty Call (premiered November 2009), we put women's and men's clothing, trends, beauty and personal care items to the test, and reveal behind-the-scenes secrets from the fashion and beauty industry.

Plus, in each episode, we attempt to dress someone who wants to add some sizzle to his or her style, armed with just $500 and one afternoon. We try to create a look that will impress not only our closet-challenged candidate, but also a famous fashionista. Will our fashion stylings appear on the "do" or "don't" list?

Check out episode information and style tips from Anna & Kristina's Beauty Call, Season 1.

The Shopping Bags

Our award-winning show The Shopping Bags began in 2001 and is broadcast on W Network in Canada and Fine Living in the US.

Our mission on The Shopping Bags TV show is to give you the low-down on an extensive range of consumer products, from aftershave to zero-down payment programs, and everything in-between.

We take a practical yet fun approach to product testing. This involves researching the products and putting them through typical tests of everyday usage, as well as extreme tests of durability and quality, to see which ones stand up.

We also call on experts for their opinions, from fashionistas like Diane von Furstenberg and Lars Nilsson, to domestic divas like Martha Stewart, to Olympic athletes like Picabo Street, and some of the most well-known experts in the world of cars, gardens, and beauty.

Then we find regular people who frequently use the products we're investigating and get real life input from their experiences.

Finally, after all our tests and research, we determine the best product for the job. But sometimes we don't always agree!
