In her foreword to this book, the onetime president and chief executive officer of the Food Network, Erica Gruen, wrote:

"Taste was the very first in-house production of Food Network and is now our most popular show. For Food Network, it all started with Taste. We are proud to have produced David's show from the start and to share with the world his insights, humor, and joie de vivre."

Commerce

Rosengarten's new company, The David Rosengarten Collective, which he founded in 2012, is actively importing and selling food and wine from all over the world. The products are available to consumers at David's shop on "davidrosengarten.com." Additionally, Rosengarten is placing his wines at top restaurants in New York.

Television

Rosengarten's first hosting opportunity on the US channel Food Network was Food News & Views.[6] He then created and hosted the program Taste, which premiered in February 1994[7] and ran for eight years on the Food Network, and co-hosted In Food Today with Donna Hanover, ex-wife of Rudolph Giuliani. He has also appeared frequently on NBC's Today show.[8]

Entertainment Weekly had the following to say about Taste:

"Call it culinary voyeurism, but Taste is a cooking show even take-out addicts will find enthralling. David Rosengarten's orgasmic ruminations on 'lobster synergy' and the textural differences between Lebanese and Portuguese pine nuts will give 'bring to a boil' a whole new meaning."[9]

In the middle of 2012, Rosengarten began creating new, original content for a YouTube channel he named RosengartenTV.[10]

Travel

Since October 2006, Rosengarten has been organizing and hosting food tours in regions as varied as the Mediterranean,[11] India[12] and Iceland.[13]
