"cooking demonstration" news and stories

Paula Deen had a bit of a freak out last week on the set of the "Today Show" after an NBC staffer accidentally walked into the shot and hid behind a kitchen island.

"Oh my goodness, can you all see? What is he doing in here? Does he work here?" Deen asked Al Roker as she prepared her Nutty Orange Coffee Cake to promote the New York City Wine & Food Festival. "He doesn't have a gun does he? Should we pull out our knives?"

Roker laughed along with Deen, although it became a bit awkward after he asked her what she was making.

"Nervous. That's what we're making -- nerves, nervous," she said. "Is he from this country?"

But all became hunky-dory once more when Deen learned the man did indeed work for NBC.

"Oh so you do work here, well here," Deen said as she handed him a slice of cake.

In honor of that, Saveur and Broadway Panhandler have teamed up to host a four-part cooking demonstration series featuring editors and recipes from the Saveur 100 issue. Beginning January 24 and running through February 14, the demo series will offer customers advice on topics ranging from vinegars, salt, pots and pans and bartending.
