Famous Chefs - Jeff Smith, the Frugal Gourmet, recipes

avatar

Cookbook by

Julesong

A collection of recipes by Jeff Smith, the Frugal Gourmet. Well known and beloved PBS chef who could often be seen in Seattle. "Hot wok, cold oil, food won't stick!" The Frugal Gourmet, hosted by the white-bearded Methodist chaplain in a striped apron, aired on PBS from 1983 to 1997, making Smith a top chef on the network after Julia Child had established cooking as a staple for public TV. He died in July of 2004. Please let me know you if you find any recipes which should be added to this cookbook, thanks!
