CALLING COOKS ACROSS AMERICA!
“The Martha Stewart Show”, Premiering September 12,
Is Searching For America’s Best Cooks

Do you have the most delicious recipe for New England clam chowder? Have you tasted the most amazing Texas chicken-fried steak? Do you still use Grandma’s secret ingredients when you make a Florida Key Lime Pie? If so, you could be featured as a guest on The Martha Stewart Show premiering live Tuesday, September 12 (check local listings).

Throughout the season, the Emmy-winning “how-to” series will put the focus on local chefs and home cooks whose recipes have a distinctively regional feel and taste. The amateur cook showcase is an opportunity for viewers to explore the world of regional cuisine, so if you have a classic you’d like to share, or if you know someone who does, send a tape or DVD of yourself (giving a brief description of the dish, where it’s from, and why you think it’s the best) to:
