As some of you already know, the Food Network filmed a segment in the Bailey's Mills kitchen this summer. I have just found out that it will air for the first time on November 26, this Friday, at 10 p.m. Eastern Time. This is the Secret Life of Food, a Christmas special series, and we made fruitcake for this episode.
The Fruit Cake was created from my experience with Don receiving fruitcake for several years from his sister Jean at Christmas. As with many recipes, it is a work in progress. Click here for our Fruit Cake recipe!
The program is not a Julia Child demonstration. It is a romp through various Christmas foods and there are many. Out of the 60 minute special, about 5 minutes is at Bailey's Mills and Reading and it goes very quickly. It was distilled down from about 2 and a half hours of raw footage. They treated us very well. Please scroll down the page to view a couple pictures of the photo shoot!
