The Food Network is the last place I go to find a recipe. It’s just junk food and hosts now. I remember the old days, and I certainly remember David Rosengarten. His show was excellent (tho’ it got a little corny from time to time).

When he comes back – I’ll go back to Food Network.

I second (or maybe it’s third) the endorsement of David Rosengarten’s late, lamented show, Taste. I was just talking about this a couple of nights ago. Bill, you’re absolutely right: he would tell you everything you wanted to know about a dish and then show you how it is done. No gimmickry, no cutesie-poo showmanship–just the straight dope. Unfortunately, Food Network has degenerated into just another entertainment channel with not much to recommend it anymore. It would be nice for someone to pick up the old Taste shows (PBS, maybe?) and let us see them again.

I agree that although Alton Brown is entertaining (and certainly higher production values), Taste was still a better show. I sorely miss it.

It’s particularly sad that Food Network never shows Taste, even late at night, and is unwilling to offer it on DVD or any other venue.

Poor David Rosengarten seems to have degenerated into a shill for the assorted products he writes about. The closest thing I can think of to David’s style on Taste is the food writing of Jeffry Steingarten.

The big downside to Steingarten is keeping up with his writings requires a subscription to Vogue and Men’s Vogue, or a lot of patience to wait for the occasional books (which are reprints of some of the articles … years later).

we make ketchup and BBQ sauce using an adaption of Mustard’s cookbook…..great stuff, has an exceptional shelf life and after purchasing all the penzey’s spices/herbs is not that expensive nor time consuming to make.
Much cheaper than $15 for 11 oz…..don’t know about you, but having a supply of BBQ sauce on hand makes cooking a breeze. No tears involved Bill.

June Taylor has a booth at Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market in San Francisco, her combinations are both interesting and tasty.
Interesting English ex-pat.
