His cooking show was truly the best I've ever seen. I'd never watched cooking shows before until The Frugal Gourmet, but it was an amazing education delivered with compassion and caring. I got a chance to meet with Jeff on several occasions and he was always the most caring and gracious person. Yes, he was a minister and came from a Methodist background. In his shows and his books he often shared messages of compassion to care for our elderly who ate TV dinners alone, or to remember to put meaning in our holidays.
He was certainly the cooking celebrity of his time and I don't know if he was guilty or simply a target that money, not jail-time satisfied. We will never know what really happened, but there but for the grace of God go you and I. It is wrong to judge someone without walking in their shoes and knowing the facts. I can only speak to my experience of his deeds which spoke volumes of caring and compassion.
