| Geoffrey Drummond is a producer of cooking programs for television. He graduated from Cornell University and attended graduate school at Stanford, but he didn't study television production or the culinary arts at either university. His film career began at Time Life Films as a writer of the TV science series, The World We Live In, and he eventually became its producer.
He next co-founded and was president of Saga Communications Group, an international film and television production company.

Under his own independent banner, Drummond went on to produce numerous television and home video programs such as Garrison Keillor's The Prarie Home Companion, Disney's concert series Going Home, and the Master Chefs series for PBS. It was while working on the latter that he began his "affaire de cuisine" and subsequent involvement with culinary programming, as well as his work with Julia Child.
Geof has received numerous professional awards and honors for producing: two national Emmy Awards, six James Beard Awards, an ACE (Cable Excellence) award, two gold medals from the NY Film and TV Festival and a Parents' Choice Award.
