Almost complete (part of the beginning is missing) episode of The Frugal Gourmet's Whole Family Kitchen titled "Herbs: The Helpers."
In this episode, the eighth in this season, the Frug visits the Riverview herb farm in Washington state and has some kids in the studio to try out some of the herb dishes he made.
From my VHS collection recorded from WVIZ Cleveland via Armstrong Cable in Medina, Ohio.
Wikinfo: "The Frugal Gourmet is an American half-hour cooking show. The show started around 1973 at Tacoma's public-TV station KTPS-TV. It was first called Cooking Fish Creatively. Later it was renamed The Frugal Gourmet. The award winning program was hosted by Jeff Smith.
The Frugal Gourmet ran on PBS from 1983 to 1997. It was PBS's most popular cooking show. Smith always wore a blue and white striped apron that became his "trademark". In 1989, during the "Three Ancient Cuisines" run, Smith was joined by Craig Wollam, a professionally trained Chef. Smith met Wollam by accident in a Chicago restaurant and he was hired the next day. He stayed until the show was cancelled in 1997. For the first seven seasons, the show was produced by WTTW in Chicago. From 1991, it was produced by KQED in San Francisco, and A La Carte Communications."
"In 1997, seven men filed lawsuits against him for alleged sexual abuse. Six of the men said they were abused when they were younger and worked at the Chaplain's Pantry. The case never went to court. Smith said the abuse never happened. The Frugal Gourmet empire ended with the scandal."
