This is some of the best food TV I've seen recently (the player is embedded after the jump). It's a nicely edited clip of Christopher Walken preparing roasted chicken and pears. He shares cooking tips, shows off his upright roaster and seems totally and completely comfortable in the kitchen. Clocking in at just more than three minutes long, it is a good example of how little preparation is needed to make a good meal, even one fit for a star.

Seriously, Walken is the Man!
"I have these ...Pears..."
That said, when he says "OK. That's all for now" at the end.. are YOU going to question him ?

8-04-2007 @2:13PM Becca said... Delightful! A major star of stage and screen happily being domestic. Right down to the kitty. I'm going to cook this - my hubby loves pears. I'm a fan of Walken and even more so now.
