Need a little inspiration before sending in a recipe for the KTEH Cooks with Garlic Cookbook?

We thought you might!

We invited some local movers and shakers to share the spice and sizzle in their own favorite garlic recipes, and support KTEH in the process! Here are a few of our volunteers:

  • Digg Founder Kevin Rose
  • Groundswell Author and "Silicon Valley Mom" Charlene Li
  • Technologist & Organic Cooking Enthusiast Mary Hodder
  • Founding Developer of WordPress Matt Mullenweg

Rules for the TV Cooking Show Auditions

Now closed to new entrants

In December, KTEH will broadcast a live show featuring local viewers preparing their favorite garlic recipes. We are looking for viewers with a passion for food and a flare for teaching to cook on our show, KTEH Cooks with Garlic. If you have an original recipe you'd like to share on television, follow the steps outlined below.

  • Step 1: Send us a letter, telling us why you would make a great "TV Chef," and an original recipe that you would like to prepare live on KTEH. The recipe must feature garlic as an ingredient. Submissions must be received by September 15, 2008. (the date was extended from September 1, 2008)

  • Step 2: All recipes submitted become the property of KTEH and will be included (with your byline) in our KTEH Cooks with Garlic Cookbook.
  • Step 3: KTEH will review the letters and recipes and invite selected viewers to video tape themselves preparing their recipe. These videos will be posted on our website.
  • Step 4: If you are selected, start your video camera and prepare your recipe as you would if you were on television. Then upload your video to our website (instructions to come) or send it to KTEH and we'll upload it for you.
  • Step 5: KTEH viewers will be invited to vote for the video they like best.
  • Step 6: Videos with the most votes will be reviewed by KTEH producers who will invite their favorite "chefs" to prepare their garlic recipe on our live special, KTEH Cooks with Garlic, December 3, 2008.
  • Step 7: If selected, you will be asked to provide all the ingredients for your recipe and a completed version of the dish. If your recipe is made in stages, you will need to provide a version in each stage- just like Martha!
  • Step 8: The show! Chefs will be assigned a time slot and have 10 minutes to prepare their recipe.
  • Step 9: Each TV Chef appearing on the show will receive a KTEH Cooks with Garlic Cookbook and a DVD of their appearance on the show.

 

Thanks to all of the participants!
