Discovery Communications has plucked celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse for a daily series on its new Planet Green eco-lifestyle cable channel, which launches in June.

The new show, tentatively titled “Emeril Green,” will be shot entirely at Whole Foods Market stores.

“With his dynamic and entertaining style, Emeril has inspired millions of people to experience the joy of food and cooking. Whole Foods Market has been a leader in making organic and sustainably produced food a part of our daily lives,” said Eileen O’Neill, president and general manager of Planet Green. “Together, they are the winning ingredients for an innovative series that will redefine food shows for the new green culture.”

“Since my early days as a chef, I’ve always been passionate about using the freshest quality ingredients from farmers, fisherman and ranchers,” Mr. Lagasse said. “I try a little harder every day to think greener and be respectful of our environment and our resources. On ‘Emeril Green’ we’ll unearth how easy and fun it is to cook with what’s fresh, tasty and in-season and find smart ways to make each day a little greener for you and your family.”

“Emeril Green” is produced for Planet Green by Karen Katz, longtime executive producer of “Emeril Live” with her production company, After Five Productions. The show is produced in association with Discovery Studios.
