Egg rolls and enchiladas once were considered rare and exotic treats by many North Americans. Now, salsa is the No. 1 condiment, and everyone has a favorite ethnic food, whether it’s Thai, Ethiopian or Italian.
From Norwegian “kringle” to Korean “mando,” KCTS Television is collecting recipes that reflect its viewers’ diverse ethnic heritages for the next “KCTS Cooks” viewer cooking special and companion cookbook.
KCTS is seeking a range of fare to include in its “KCTS Cooks: Ethnic Food” cookbook. Selected viewers receive the opportunity to go before the cameras to demonstrate their creations in the next special. The special airs live at 11 a.m. May 15. It is hosted by George Ray and chef Brian Poor.
Typed recipes must be received by April 28. On-air cooks will be chosen in early May.
Submissions must include the following.
??Viewer’s name and street address with a daytime telephone number and e-mail address, if applicable.
??Typewritten recipe, including ingredient quantities, number of servings it makes and directions for preparation.
??Brief information about the person submitting the recipe, its origins and how it’s used.
In addition to live viewer cooking demonstrations, May’s “KCTS Cooks: Ethnic Food” special will feature three pre-taped segments.
To enter, e-mail cooks@kcts.org or send mail to KCTS Cooks, 401 Mercer St., Seattle, WA 98109.
