On Thursday we began our 2025 production season of ‘Learn to Cook, with Linda’. The theme of the day: comfort food. The recipes: Chicken Pot Pie, Mac-n-Cheese, and Shepherd’s Pie. Whenever we record cooking shows in our TV kitchen it’s a vaguely Pavlovian experience. We tend to record three episoides in the normal course, and as each one is completed the production crew starts to salivate – drooling like Pavlov’s dog hearing a bell that signified food was at hand.

The ‘kitchen’ day is just one step in a production process that begins a week or so earlier. Linda begins recipe planning and lays out the ingredients and cooking instructions in PowerPoint. She provides a shopping list, and we then gather all the necessaries from local markets and farm stands. We make sure to buy and prepare enough for the production crew – lest they become ‘hangry’ – and mutiny.

A well-fed crew is a happy crew.

And – as always –
