This season, as for over 25 years, I continue to trace fresh ingredients to their source at local farms and small-batch producers. I visit some of the oldest continuously-farmed lands in the U.S. at a pre-revolutionary farm and fruit orchid, to an indoor farm growing hundreds of ancient microgreens. All this while doing my part to support sustainable and local food production.
Then, back in the kitchen, I cook, bake, and grill my favorite dishes with ingredients fresh from the farm. From warm corn chowder to perfect roast chicken with cherry sauce and a savory shaved beet salad to peach pie, this season's brand new recipes range from the simple to the sophisticated, the savory to the sweet.
I also share with you one-minute "Good To Know" cooking tips, another new feature this season. In an informative 60 seconds, I share food facts and basic cooking principles which answer viewers' burning questions, such as how many kernels are on an ear of corn? Or, what's the best way to select fresh fruit?
This season, my long-time friend, chef, and award-winning photojournalist Alex Goetzfried, joins the show for on-location "chat and chew" conversations. George and Alex discuss sustainable cooking and living and share our adventures from the beautiful East End, Long Island. From dockside fish fries to breakfasts on the farm to our ever-popular "cooking two ways."
If I can do it, you can do it! chef George
About George's friends and neighbors you will watch on GHL:
