Appetizing Muse

I can't say enough good things about Create TV, so I'll let the channel speak for itself:

After a recent cable television upgrade, I was able to view Create TV for the first time over the weekend. My initial exposure was a day-long collection of cooking shows devoted to corn and tomatoes (theme-titled "Stalk & Vine"). The programs included:

• "Burt Wolf: What We Eat" (The Seed of Life: The Story of Corn, Episode #107 and Time to Play Ketchup: The Story of the Tomato, Episode #105).

• "Christina Cooks" (Men and a Good Tomato, Episode #805 and Happy Food, Episode #802).

• "Healthy Flavors" (You Say Tomato, Episode #304).

• "Joanne Weir's Cooking Class" (Tomato Basil Fettuccine & Grilled Corn Salad, Episode #205).

• "Gourmet's Adventures with Ruth" (Cocinar Mexicano, Episode #105).

• "Ciao Italia" (Quick Tarts-Le Torte Rapide, Episode #1822).

• "Simply Ming" (Hoisin and Tomatoes, Episode #626).

I didn't sit eagle-eyed at the television all day, but did listen as I worked. Create TV has none of the glitz and glamour of the Food Network, but rather straightforward offerings of informative programs without the hype.

Aside from my political news-junkie eye, I think I've found a new favorite telly channel to view and listen to unique foodstuff and creativity.
