TV maybe?

For the past year, due to my lack of a work permit in Canada, I have been volunteering at Access7 – the local cable co-op.  I started doing floor directing for the show Talk of the Town and then moved on to my own short piece called City Sleuth, which features the cool & unusual here in Regina.  Now, however, I am going to do a cooking show on Access, which should be a lot of fun!  I’m thinking of doing a theme of “Everyday Gourmet”, wherein we take your everyday dinners & kick ‘em into high gear.

This is a clip of the piece I did as a test piece for the station, so obviously it is not ready for prime time, nor will it air as is.  The ‘factoids’ are obviously made up – I have never even met Emeril Lagasse – and there are some editing errors such as the close up of the pork chop which is already seasoned, though I never seasoned the other side in the segment. So I would love to hear your comments, though please don’t point out the obvious editing snafus!

Here we go on air!

I would also love to hear what you think of the theme – would you prefer to watch a show about finding cool ingredients & cooking unusual dishes with them?  I am also toying with doing some molecular gastronomy, which I find a lot of fun!

Let me know what you think in the comments and I also need a title for the show! Thanks in advance!

  1. Karen's Fast and Fancy Kitchen! Love it! Just a thought. What about an apple corer for the apple? One swift motion and done, and no apple seeds steeping in the juices. Good luck with the cooking show! You're going to be fabulous. :D

  2. i love this! You have a great TV presence. I think your theme, " Everday Gourmet" is the perfect title for your show. I would watch this. As a struggling cook wannabe your pork chop technique was great and easy to do for me. Good luck. Looking forward to watching.
