Galloping Gourmet

I loved watching this show when I was a kid. I loved Graham Kerr because he improvised his recipes most of the time - "a bunch of salt, a bunch of ground black pepper..."

The Galloping Gourmet – the cooking show you forgot about

Quick, right now – name five TV cooking show hosts. Julia Child, Gordon Ramsay, Racheal Ray, Emeril Lagasse, Nigella Lawson, okay, okay. But does the name Graham Kerr ring a bell? No? Really?…

I remember watching. He always seemed to be on the edge of disaster while cooking, but it always turned out okay.

And his show was only on for two years, '69-'71. It seemed like more than that to me, maybe there were reruns.

Loved watching him. I still chuckle recalling how he pronounced "arrowroot".

Loved watching this guy, too, I guarantee:

I remember him!

I remember both those guys. Mr. Kerr was often taking "a short slurp".

My all time favorite was Jacques. The clip below demonstrates why. He also did a show with Julia which was great.
