ATK and MilkStreet ( MS ) are directed businesses for maximum profit
although they us PBS for their Forum
PBS now has no relation of any king to the PBS of , as this is a cooking forum
to Julia Childs
Cooking shows either on PBS or cable
are massively profitable.
Id prefer that those who create the show
earn that profit.
Im exceptionally pleased that Chef Vivian
has done that.
none the less , they are sucked into my computer every week
as I have over the air HDTV.
have I learned a lot
by watching ATK , Ming , Sara over the years
you bet
Ive also leaned a lot from Great British Menu
and Jamie Oliver
and a host of others
by seeing them ' work '
a billion years ago there was a PBS series
when PBS was at its Prime
" Great Chefs of New York "
the chef ( back them Him ) made a three course meal in their own kitchen
wow
there were 4 - 5 other similar shows , from the same group
SF , N.O etc
best stuff ever.
I made several times a ' compound ' roast :
Saddle of Lamb , nicely trimmed trimmings went into a stock
veal : made into a Mouse
spread on that saddle
Filet of Beef ( from the Chateubrand areas , carefully trimmed of all sinew including an internal bit
this was then wrapped up and tied :
Saddle carefully prepared w no sinew
veal mouse spread even over thet
Filet Chateubriand on top of that , then tied
browned in a good pan
the placed in the over to get everything just right and the beef rare
all jus went into the pan sauce
beast thing I ever made
sliced thick
2 " if not more ?
etc
the dessert was a chocolate loaf where the chocolate cake was carefully make
sliced into portions that lined a loaf pan. the center was filled w an intense chocolate mouse
then set to firm up
the sauce was a fresh raspberry sauce
and that that was that.
PBS did not seem to own this series
which is too bad
they mostly diapered.
I think they are these :
