Since last June, Eric Ripert has been making his own online cooking show, in which he uses a toaster oven to prepare an assortment of wonderfully easy and tasty looking dishes (I've embedded one of my favorites above, in which he mades toaster oven-roasted chicken tenders). It's a charming show, reminiscent of the old days of food television, but with a splash of modern charm. He's comfortable in front of the camera, without being overly chummy or showy.

American Public Television took note of his on-camera appeal and has given him a ten-show deal. It will be called Avec Eric (which is also the name of his online show) and will be airing nation-wide beginning in the fall. I'm really looking forward to it (especially after seeing him on Top Chef last night).

Outstanding ! i hope he invites Anthony Bourdain on as a guest at some point. Those two are hysterical together.

He has to be the most polite judge that I have ever seen on top chef. He was so constructive with his criticism and didn't put down the chefs. He was respectful to them even when they i.e. Jaime weren't respectful to him. I can't wait to see his show!

Wow, my favorite chef on the entire planet gets his own PBS show? How cool is that?

Is this based on the toaster oven thing? Wow, this is going to be good. I can hardly wait.
