March 20 - 26, 2022 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • 19 tastytv BY GEORGE DICKIE New culinary series and specials for your consumption Back in the day, TV viewers seeking food knowledge were limited to Julia Child, "The Galloping Gourmet" and a handful of other shows. Not that they were bad – quite the contrary, they were landmarks of the genre. They just weren't enough. These days, in the so-called Golden Age of Television, there are more foodie shows across broadcast, cable and streaming than there is time to watch them. And new ones keep cropping up all the time. One of the more noteworthy offerings upcoming is "Be My Guest With Ina Garten." Premiering Saturday, March 26, on Food Network and discovery+, the multi-platform series finds the "Barefoot Contessa" host welcoming friends into her East Hampton, N.Y., home for a day of conversation, food and visits to some of her favorite local spots. It's also created in three different versions – a half hour for Food, an hour extended cut for discovery+ and a companion podcast. In the opening episode, "The Good Wife" actress Julianna Margulies drops by for margaritas and to make Garten her signature halibut with herb butter. If you like your culinary content with a side of construction, then "Girl Meets Farm: Our Farmhouse Renovation" may suit your taste. Airing Sunday morning, March 20, on Food, the hourlong special follows host Molly Yeh, her husband Nick and a crew of builders as they update their 1964 ranch house to include enough space for Molly's TV show and their family. She's also in the kitchen whipping up a hearty spread of loaded salami sandwiches, a chicken paprikash hotdish and meat-lover's pizzas for the hungry crew. Over on Netflix, baking fans will want to check out "Is It Cake?" Hosted by "Saturday Night Live" cast member Mikey Day, the competition series challenges talented bakers with creating hyper-realistic cakes that look exactly like everyday objects – at least enough to fool a panel of celebrity judges. The one who does it best wins a cash prize. For those who want to get nostalgic, the ongoing "Adam Eats the 80s" may satisfy. Airing Sundays on History, the half-hour series follows food author and culinary entrepreneur Adam Richman as he travels around the country reliving his childhood and tasting some of the most iconic and forgotten foods of the 1980s. And on a completely different note is Netflix's "Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives." The four-part documentary series explores how Sarma Melngailis, former owner of the New York vegan raw food eatery Pure Food and Wine, went from being the queen of vegan cuisine to being known as the "Vegan Fugitive," convicted of tax fraud and stealing from an investor.
