Who remembers the cooking show "Pasquale's Kitchen?"
I remember enjoying Pasquale's Kitchen on PBS some years ago. He was such an entertaining cook. He taught me many of the techniques I use today. What a fun guy!

I do I do! I have his cook book by the same name - I got it as a present when I left home 22 years ago - and I use it all the time! Only saw the show a few times but I remember it being entertaining.....

Pasquale was great -- the Singing Chef! He, Jeff Smith, Julia Child, Justin Wilson, and Martin Yan were my earliest cooking instructors :-)

Oh I do! He was great--he and Justin (on-yon) Wilson were my favorites. Chef Pasquale got me back in the kitchen after years of take out. He always reminded me of my dad--Italian and loved to sing! I always learned something watching his show.

I loved how he would say "scusa my back" every time he turned around to the sink. Fun show!

@ dsquare - I enjoyed the short clip very much! Pasquale was so pleasant and entertaining. Wouldn't it be great to see a similar cooking show on the Food Network? Pasquale's technique was straightforward. Put all of the ingredients you need to make the recipe on a cutting board. Being organized leads to huge confidence at the stove. Thanks to all who commented on this very special Italian chef!

@dsquare ~ Thanks so much for the memory. One of my favorite programs. Ah, the good old days, when we could enjoy real cooking shows.

Actually Pascale's Kitchen Express is a currrent show on TV very frequently here in Canada. As a kid in the 80's I remember him on his original show La Cucina con Pasquale on italian cultural Tv.

I watched jeff smith, julia child, graham kerr, justin wilson, martin yan and jacques pepin and also pascale. i still watch what I can today. but i't so nice to see the cooking personalities that I grew up with that still around today.
the french chef, the gallopping gourmet, the frugal gourmet, yan can cook, new orleans cooking, as well as the kitchen express will always be in my memories . thank you so much for this site.
