Tune in for Tantalizing New Recipes on Gaslight Gourmet Fridays at 7 p.m., beginning September 21
BURNABY, BC (September 11, 2001) Luscious lobster, banana chocolate spring rolls and tea steamed scallops. Executive chef David Forestell will be serving up these tempting dishes and many more in 26 new episodes of Gaslight Gourmet. Sponsored by B.C. Gas, the half-hour cooking series returns for a second season on Knowledge Network beginning Friday, September 21 at 7 p.m. Produced by Max Flex Productions, this entertaining series is filmed in Knowledge Network’s studios. Forestell brings to the program an irresistible mix of culinary expertise and a passion for food, creating dishes drawing on a wide range of cultures and flavours. Many of British Columbia’s finest chefs also make guest appearances on the show, including Romy Prasad of Cin Cin, Carol Chow of The Hart House, Dennis Green of Bishops and Karen Barnaby of The Fish House. Wine expert Robin Mines stops by to suggest the best wines to enhance each meal. Whether it’s fresh rosemary, rich olive oil or sweet vanilla, Gaslight Gourmet focuses on one ingredient in each episode. Forestell then offers refreshing and occasionally surprising ideas for using the ingredient. Carrots are blended with ginger and transformed into a smooth ice cream. Sage and lemon merge playfully to create mouth-watering halibut. Easy to learn techniques help viewers re-create the meals in their own kitchens, from tossing shrimp on the grill to deftly wrapping dumplings. Gaslight Gourmet showcases the diversity of West Coast cuisine. We’re delighted to partner with B.C. Gas to bring this culinary extravaganza to television, said Sarah MacDonald, Director of Programming, Television & New Media for Knowledge Network.
