Do not fear, my sweets! Not only do we have behind the scenes photos of the shoot, but last night’s Food (ography) episode showcasing the talents of our executive pastry chef Hedy Goldsmith will re-air July 31 at 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., and August 14 at 8:00 a.m. This Cooking Channel show is hosted by funny man Mo Rocca and examines how people and culture are shaped by food. In “Frozen Delights,” which was filmed at MGFD in Miami on March 29, “dessert proves that it’s cool to be a grown-up!” Hedy whipped up a sexy and sophisticated Banana Split with curry bread, caramel sauce, one scoop each of buttered popcorn, chocolate chipotle, and coconut curry ice creams, spicy chocolate-dipped bananas, homemade whipped cream, macadamia brittle, and a cherry on top. Can we say over the top? Yeah bay bay. This is one of several television appearances Hedy has been making these days, including her contributor gig with Unique Sweets (more July air dates here,) as well as an episode of America’s Best Bites shot yesterday at the restaurant featuring Tangerine Creamsicle Pot de Creme and set to air in September. Congrats Hed! Now… when is this split banana thingy going on the menu, or are you just going to tease the bajesus out of us?? For those of you into self-torture, more insider shots are right this way…
