Bay Area TV Appearance

Mar 30, 2007 | From the kitchen of Rose

KQED Channel 9 (Northern Calif)
Sat, Mar 31, 2007 -- 1:00 pm

Master Class at Johnson & Wales
Asian Noodles (#306)
...Guest chef is Rose Levy Beranbaum, best-selling author and pastry guru,
who turns a banana split into an ice cream pie...

I've never gotten to see my appearance on this show so would be very grateful if someone in the bay area could tape it for me!

Comments

Blin classics of the genre, I laughed heartily ...

Can we all have such helpful assistants when we make the Banana Split Pie? You just have to turn on either side and a pair of helpful hands will pass you what you need!!!

REPLY

Dear Susan, I've just received the tape and it looks great. Making the DVD now. Thanks again. /H

REPLY

Hope you enjoy a lot of this in France!!!! Molded chicken liver pate, feathers done with trimmer slices of Basic Sourdough Bread.

REPLY

Happy Birthday Rose. Have a wonderful trip to France. Lots of good wishes.

REPLY

Feliz Dia Rose!!!!!! what cake will you have?

REPLY

Speaking of flourless cakes -- your Chocolate Oblivion Truffle Torte and Cocoa Cloud Roll (filled with sweetened or raspberry flavored whipped cream) are two of my most trusty stand-bys for Passover desserts. We have family members with celiac, so the more flourless cakes, the better, in my book!

REPLY

by the way, the banana split pie is indeed in the pie and pastry bible.

REPLY

i was also born on palm sunday! aries is a fun sign--there's einstein and casanova....

thank you all for the great birthday greetings!

i love many flourless cakes but not with matzoh meal! i'll have several favorites in the new book!

REPLY

Happy birthday to you, Rose -- my son's birthday is Tuesday (the 3rd), so he falls on Pesach this year as well. The year he was born, I believe his birth coincided with the 1st night of Pesach. Love those Passover babies! ; )

REPLY

Happy Birthday Rose!!!!!! Have a wonderful day.

Rose,

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Dear Rose,
Happy Birthday to you!

:)

Happy, Happy Birthday Rose! What a great combination of events for you today. Passover begins and your birthday to boot! I guess there will be no spectacular birthday cake tonight - unless someone comes up with something great using matzoh cake meal and a ton of eggs (I have never made a really great Passover cake, though the flourless torte can work. It just doesn't seem like a real birthday cake to me.) In any case, I hope you have a terrific birthday.

REPLY

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but Rose has a recipe in the Pie and Pastry Bible called Banana Split Pie - she describes it as follows:

This is an American ice cream parlor classic in a pie. Eating a slice of this pie is like diving into a treasure trove of goodies. A cross-section of the pie reveals a thin crumb crust topped with two layers each of vanilla ice cream and banana slices, interrupted by a scattering of chopped walnuts, topped with lacings of caramel and hot fudge and large rosettes of whipped cream, and garnished with more chopped walnuts and banana slices.

The actual recipe is quite detailed as you probably already know, so it's probably best if you checked the book out from the library.

REPLY

i saw the show in houston a couple of months ago on pbs, but i didn't write down the recipe fast enough. i don't have the pie and pastry bible (YET) but i am building up my collection and trying to get my baking business off the ground. can anyone give me the recipe for the banana split ice cream pie? :)

REPLY

i'll let you know as soon as it comes! 3 1/2 hours to pesach and my birthday!

REPLY

Rose, The videotape is in the mail (our downtown post office has an automated station that lets you weigh and pay for your own postage) via Priority Mail. I assume it won't leave the West Coast until tomorrow, but be on the lookout for a padded envelope from Mountain View, California in a couple of days. It occurred to me that I didn't preview it - so I do hope everything taped okay.

Happy Pesach to you. I am off to make the Fruit and Nut Kugel (made with matzoh farfel) that my family requests each year.

Have a wonderful time in France!!

REPLY

Hector, please send your postal address to my email address:

smbetz@ix.netcom.com

I will forward the VHS tape to you per Rose's offline request.

Thanks

REPLY

thanks marilyn--it should certainly reach me if you send it that way and my husband will be here in any case to receive mail so it won't be lost!

REPLY

I have the VHS tape in a padded envelope ready to mail. If I send it Priority Mail it might reach you before you leave from France. Do you want me to try?

REPLY

i suspected as much!
pls do feel free to send a copy to hector as by the time i get it i'll be almost off to france! will send address via e-mail since not a good idea to do it on the web. uh oh--you e-mail address may not come through so can you please send it again?

REPLY

Whoops, that "Anonymous" was me, Susan Betz, in California.

REPLY

Rose, I have transferred the show to VHS tape. I need a postal address to which I can send the tape. I will leave it up to you if you would like to receive it directly and then forward to Hector for duplication. Please reply to my personal email address with instructions. I will keep my TiVo copy until you or Hector confirm that you have a readable tape.

REPLY

thank you! my brother in mill valley was caught in a traffic jam but got home just in time to watch me making the caramel and called me to say he wished he could have a piece of that pie right now (me too)!
the recipe's in the pie and pastry bible.

I enjoyed your guest appearance on "Master Class at Johnson and Wales" and your presentation of the Banana Split Ice Cream Pie. Would you please tell me where I could obtain the recipe or please tell me if it is provided in one of your cookbooks? Thank you!

REPLY

Goodluck! This is why (among other reasons) I wish I lived in CA.

Please send me a copy =), VHS tape, mini DV tape, quicktime movie, whatever you can provide!!! I can transfer it to DVD for all =)

REPLY

I am here when you decide to visit.

REPLY

sUNNNY? ENGLAND!!! actually i would love to come but it's been 7 years since i've seen my nephew and he's in germany--this trip is getting confusing to orchestrate as it is what with election day arriving right in the middle of my navigating from the dordogne to normandy....

REPLY

With a stop over to sunny England perhaps?

REPLY

c'est bien vraie! (getting ready for my trip to france!!!)

REPLY

Doesn't count...still really funny.

REPLY

oh that IS funny. did i mention (in my defense) that i only had 5 hours of sleep since i made it my mission to catch up with a week's worth of blog postings/?!)

REPLY

Ear crumbs?... What a hoot! That is a cook's 'Freudian Slip' if I have ever heard one! Love it Rose...I have had a good laugh at your expense.

REPLY

thanks marilyn. with both of you doing this there's an excellent chance at least one will work. and enjoy the show--it was a good one!

REPLY

Rose,
I usually spend every Saturday watching the KQED cooking shows and I'm thrilled that you will be on Johnson & Wales again.

I will also tape the show on my HDTV and send you a copy. Where should it be sent?

REPLY

susan. thank you so very much. you'll see why i want to have a copy of it--the pie came out better than ever before and of course i'd love to see how i came across with the worst cold. i filmed it right after doing a fund raiser for kqed and had to fly back to the east coast for the filming with ear crumbs that threatened to burst. it was scarey.
thank you for attempting this. i know there's no guarantee with electronic media.

REPLY

Have set my TiVo to tape the show, Rose. Barring any glitches, I should be able to transfer that to a VCR tape. Will confirm when I have tape in hand.
