We all love the newly debuted Food Network baby, the Cooking Channel, right?  I was an instant fan and immediately agreed when they called Spoon and asked me to film a little segment for their new show, Food(ography).  The host, Mo Rocca is a smarty pants-harvard- funny guy so any show he is hosting has to be great.  I was asked to make Pie Pops, versions of my little pie-lettes on a stick, for their episode on the history of pie.

It was fun to see the other side of television – did you ever realize how slowly eggs are  cracked on TV?  And, how liquid ingredients get smoothly dripped into bowls?  Gracefully doing anything isn’t my strongest point but I tried my best.  Though it took nearly 5 hours, the segment will end up being around two minutes long.  I’m hoping those two minutes do not include any of my ramblings.

From what I hear, the show will air in two months and will include pie-related segments from Pie ‘n’ Thighs and Del Posto.
