Based in Ottawa, ON, Knight Enterprises is one of the fastest growing independent television production companies in Canada. Since it began in 1996, Knight Enterprises has produced more than 400 half hours of quality entertaining television.

Knight Enterprises is best known for their incredibly entertaining and mouth watering food television series including - "The Great Canadian Food Show", "Table d'Hote", "Cook Like a Chef" and "Licence to Grill", "Junk Brothers" as well as the latest project "This Food That Wine" .

All of these series are highly acclaimed. Both "Cook Like a Chef" and "The Great Canadian Food Show" have been nominated multiple times for prestigious James Beard Awards. They have also respectively earned several nominations for Gemini Awards. "Cook Like a Chef" was most recently nominated for Best Television Food and/or Drink Show at the World Food Media Awards as well as for a Gemini for Best Direction in a Lifestyle/Practical Information Program or Series. "The Great Canadian Food Show" was most recently nominated for a Gemini as the Best Lifestyle/General Interest Series.

"The Great Canadian Food Show", which celebrates ethnic and regional influences on our culinary heritage features delicious cuisine and beautiful scenery from every province and territory in Canada. Each episode highlights great Canadian food, as well as all of the incredible people - from growers to chefs - who bring bounty to the table. This series has aired on Food Network Canada, CBC, TVA and TVO and has been sold to more than 52 countries internationally.

In January of 2001, Knight Enterprises launched its second groundbreaking food show - "Cook Like a Chef". This jazz paced, studio-based series breaks all the rules and has created an entirely new look for Food TV.  "Cook Like a Chef" is a series about how to cook,  not what to cook. Several of Canada's top chefs debunk the myth that cooking is a black art and that beautiful gourmet food is difficult to create. Our chefs create works of art from the ground up while demonstrating cooking tips, techniques and skills designed to make the average cook an UberChef. They cover everything from clarifying butter to how to make the perfect turkey.  The series has been an enormous success, and presently airs around the globe.

"Licence to Grill" has drawn in audiences like no other.   The series celebrates the joys of summer backyard entertaining and delicious bbq fare. Each episode takes place on a Saturday afternoon as host Rob Rainford prepares to have people over for dinner that evening in his backyard. With the bbq as the central theme, Rob shows us the how's and why's of perfect bbq-ology with recipes ranging from the super delicious and simple (perfect hamburgers, steaks, kabobs) to more ambitious fare (leg of lamb, hot smoking sides of fish, grilled desserts).   The series is presently airing on Food Network Canada, and in several other markets around the world. Knight Enterprises has also produced a one hour winter BBQ special spin off from the series.

Junk Brothers is a hip, fast-paced adventure in furniture resurrection and transformation.   Brothers Jim and Steve Kelley secretly patrol the streets saving cast off furniture from the refuse bin.  They whisk the items away to their workshop and transform the trash into incredible pieces of furniture that maintain at least a hint of their former battered selves. Once complete, our dynamic duo silently returns the restored pieces to their original homes and watch as the homeowners are dazzled and mystified at the surprise restoration before them:  they’ve just had a visit from the Junk Brothers.  The series currently airs on HGTV in both Canada and the United States, as well as several other markets around the world.

This Food That Wine is the ultimate wine and food pairing experience.  In every episode, hosts Angie & Stacey meet up with someone planning a party (birthday, games night, bachelorette party, home coming, etc.). They get together in Angie's kitchen for a day of menu planning, cooking and wine pairing. Then, armed with recipes and a wine list, our "guest du jour" returns to home to cook up a feast and bask in the adulation of his/her happy guests.

While propelling forward with these innovative programs, Knight Enterprises continues to develop new series including multiple new projects for Food Network Canada, Life Network Canada, CTV.  The company is also positioning itself to be a leader in content development for the mobile media markets.
