In Anna and Kristina’s Grocery Bag, the test-driving twosome narrow their focus to the kitchen and put cookbooks to the test – from the grocery store to the dinner plate.

In each episode, Anna and Kristina try out and review recipes, ingredients, appliances and food prep techniques to see if the average cook can re-create the beautifully photographed meals.

From microwaves to macaroni, from mixing bowls to mixed greens, Anna and Kristina enlist the help of everyday people from construction workers to students to football fans, to find the best products and ingredients.

At the end of the show, a guest chef or food expert will give a final evaluation of the meal and decide if the cookbook delivers the goods.
