What’s for dinner tonight? That’s a question I ask almost every day. What we eat, cook and share is a big part of who we are. Whether it’s a cherished family recipe or fried chicken at that place just outside of town, food is more than just sustenance. PBS Western Reserve has many programs about food and all the things we love about it.
This brings us to peppers. I’m talking about the hot ones — chilis. Turns out there’s a whole subculture of people who like it hot, hotter and hottest! They call themselves “chiliheads” and they travel the world looking for the heat. Follow their quest and see why some people love to feel the burn by watching CHILIHEADS this Monday at 9 PM on PBS Western Reserve.
Have you been following the new season of THE GREAT AMERICAN RECIPE? The first episode started with nine contestants from across the country. Each week, the home cooks prepared something they hoped would keep them in the competition. It all ends this week! Whose recipe will top them all? You’ll have to join us Monday at 10 PM to find out. I wish we could taste along with the judges, don’t you?
Long before there was a cooking channel, and long, long before there were cooking clips on YouTube, there was public television. We pioneered the idea of cooking on TV and we’re still going strong. You can watch great chefs on Mondays at 4 PM for MARIA’S PORTUGESE TABLE and at 4:30 PM for NEW SCANDINAVIAN COOKING. On Fridays at 3 PM it’s AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN FROM COOK’s ILLUSTRATED followed by THE LIFE OF LOI: MEDITERRANEAN SECRETS. Or hop over to Passport for an all-you-can-watch food buffet.
