Tuscan-born Gabriele Corcos and his wife, actress Debi Mazar, invite viewers into their home and kitchen in the new series "Extra Virgin." Hes a food purist from the hills of Tuscany.

Gabriele Corcos is a musician by trade and cook by nature. Born in Florence, Italy, he was raised in the Olive Country of Fiesole, where his grandmother and mother taught him everything he knows about Tuscan food and traditional farmers' cuisine. He has an insatiable fascination with food, a love for organic ingredients and a determination to feed his family in the healthiest, most natural way -- the Tuscan way.

As a professional percussionist and musician, Gabriele has worked with Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction), Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox (The Eurythmics) and Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme). Bossa Toscana is his current band, and he also recently led a 13-piece big band, The Gabop Latin Orchestra.

Gabriele and Debi launched the popular online cooking series "Under the Tuscan Gun" in 2007, dedicated to fresh, authentic Tuscan cooking. The online series sparked the idea for a show on Cooking Channel, "Extra Virgin."

Married in 2002, Gabriele and Debi live in New York City and Italy with their daughters Evelina and Giulia.
