The show moved in 2006 from a television studio to a purpose-built kitchen in Ricardo's home in Chambly, Quebec.

Ricardo spun off Ricardo and Friends, an English-language adaptation of the series.

Larrivée announced in 2023 that he was stepping away from full-time hosting.[2] The show was replaced in the fall with La Cuisine d'Isabelle et Ricardo, hosted primarily by Isabelle Deschamps Plante although Larrivée still makes guest appearances as a contributor.[3]
