I’m on TV!!!

I’m on TV!!!   Well, only online TV…but it’s a start…

Last summer, I taped an episode for an online cooking show called Neighborhood Chefs.  The show features local chefs, both amateur and professional.

It was a nerve filled day.  Imagine walking in to do a taping, something you have NEVER done before and there are no rehearsals..It’s sink or swim time!  I was so nervous and as my first media appearance, I didn’t know I could pause the taping whenever I wanted and lots of things as a novice, afterwards, I would have done differently.  Regardless, this is the end result.  I have been trying to watch the whole episode, but for most of us, we are always our worst critic.  All I can see is the stuff that I would have preferred to do differently.

It was so torturous for me to watch myself I was making myself nauseas.  Of course, others tell me it’s great – what are you talking about?  Now I know what it feels like when I hear actors say they never watch their own films.  I can totally relate now that I am “in the media”!!!

I’ve been asked to do a special Mother’s Day episode with my Mom…we are still working out the details..once that episode is up, I will let you know and now I have a little experience, that taping will go better and hopefully, I won’t be as nervous.

Anyway, here is the link to my first TV appearance!

And for the detailed recipes I cooked in the episode, here it is on a previous blog posting.
