Congratulations to the Cooking School Team!
Martha Stewart's Cooking School has won the 2014 James Beard Award for Best Television Program in a Studio or Fixed Location! It's little surprise, to me, that a program that delivers so much excellent information in such a beautiful and educational way has been recognized with this award. The James Beard Foundation is a national, non-profit organization based in New York City that honours America's culinary professionals. James Beard was an American cookbook author and cooking instructor devoted to developing American cuisine and mentoring professional chefs. Each year the foundation honours American cooking professionals with awards in several categories, including books, television and journalism. I'm so happy that Cooking School won this award. It is a classic show that teaches timeless, tested and trusted cooking methods and recipes for the home cook. It is in the midst of broadcasting its third season on PBS. Congratulations to the Martha Stewart team!
ReplyDeleteThis award, along with the reported positive ratings for " Cooking School and Baking", once again proves there is an audience for Ms Stewart's programming. Now PBS just has to "get on board" with a production of a varied show similar to her original production.

I agree. I would love to see a gardening show or, as you say, a return to the original Martha Stewart Living format with a mix of subjects.
ReplyDeleteAndrew,
ReplyDeleteI also miss Martha's decorating ideas and household tips. Martha could do a whole series based on her home keeping book. We never see the old CBS daily series, but half hour shows based on cooking, baking, decorating, travel and home keeping would be great. They also would be "evergreen" productions that could be shown /referenced in years to come.
Andrew -- did you notice the new DVD they put out for Mother's Day .. on EBAY ... Part of Martha Stewart American Made -- Martha Stewart: My Mother's Recipes
ReplyDeleteYes, I did, Alan! It's a great collection!
