Premiered in October 2002, Sugar is a half-hour show which specializes in desserts. Each episode has a theme ingredient. Host Anna Olson makes one simple dessert with the theme ingredient in the first part of the show. During the second and third part, she creates a more elaborate or decadent dessert with the same ingredient. During the last few minutes of the program called the "Switch-Up", Anna re-invents the first dessert with a few tricks and turns it into something more special.
Sugar aired for five seasons on Food Network Canada and its 151 episodes has been syndicated in 40 countries.Food Network Canada Blog - "On Set of Fresh with Anna Olson" dated September 14, 2007
