Rights Period: Unlimited PTV releases 2/28/04 – 3/31/07

Description of the Program:
All across America, people gather together around casseroles and covered dishes to share family and fellowship. People relish the chance to share their favorite and sometimes famous recipes with one another. In this edition of AMERICA’S HOME COOKING we get to share more than one hundred of the best casserole and covered dish recipes, recipes tested at family and church gatherings over many years. Hosts Chris Fennimore and Nancy Polinsky welcome guest cooks into the kitchen studio to demonstrate some of the most interesting recipes from the cookbook as well as some of their own favorites including scalloped ham and potatoes, chicken and broccoli, baked mashed potatoes and a hearty kielbasa and sauerkraut combination that is a meal in one dish. Covered Dishes and Casseroles is based on the American Traditions of community and sharing, just right as a vehicle to entice public television support.
