Galloping Gourmet Graham Kerr always an entertaining interview

March 21st, 2010 // 11:59 am @ admin

I had the good fortune to spend Tuesday afternoon with the one and only Graham Kerr, yep the man once known as “The Galloping Gourmet.”

It’s hard to keep up with Kerr, who just turned 76 last month, and still has plenty of “gallop.”

Even prior to his sold-out dinner event for 300-plus people at Sandcreek Country Club in Chesterton Tuesday night, Kerr was busy all day jaunting around Porter County speaking at presentations arranged by his organizing hospital host Porter Health System.

At 11:30 a.m., Kerr spoke to participants of theValparaiso Parks Department‘s Fit City Biggest Winner Competition at Stoner Auditorium. Porter Health System is a sponsor of the “Fit City” initiative for weight loss.

Dear Mr. Kerr,

I used to watch you on TV, but it has been several years since I’ve been able to see one of your shows. The ones I watched were the healthy ones. I learned a lot by watchin them and admire your style of cooking a lot. I especially appreciate the way you used non-alcoholic wines in your cooking. It seems like the whole country is caught up in using alcohol for everything — in cooking practically every dish on the food channel. Thank you for all you’ve done for us.

I’m still using the yogurt strainer I bought from your show, yrs. ago. Makes better yogurt than the Greek stuff they are selling. Only problem, if my stainer breaks I an never get another —- talked to your wife & she said they are no longer available. I tried everywhere but no luck. No one has them.

I use the thick yogurt instead of butter or cr. cheese on bagels, in salad dressing, topping potatoes, mixing with honey & spread on bread, & more & more.

Thanks for this great tool.

I am enjoying immensely the reruns of Graham Kerr of The Galloping Gourmet on the new Cooking Channel. This gentleman is another Bob Hope and cooks very classic dishes. His comedy is as exciting as his cooking. So glad he is back. Julia Childs too!!!!

I have just watched an old old episode of your cooking show on the cooking channel. I had forgotten how wonderful you were. Wish we had new and upcoming chefs like G. Kerr…entertaining with a sense of humor as well as a wonderful cook.

Thanks for bringing back the great “Galloping Gourmet” show on The Cooking Channel. I watched all those shows as a young teenager and they are just as great, if not better now!!! Nice to have Graham and Treena back on TV!

How excited I was to see the article about your sweet daughter Tessa in our local newspaper, The Anderson Independent Mail, 3 weeks ago! I introduced myself to her last Monday (8/2) at the Publix Supermarket where she works and gave her a big hug for her daddy! She was born the same year my husband & I were married. I was a rabid fan of your show back in the late ’60s – early ’70s when our family lived in Fairfax County, VA. My mother started me cooking VERY young and I’ve always considered it my “avocation”. You certainly tweaked my enthusiasm and I passed it on to my three “kids”…. two daughters (53 & 42) and one son (47). I’m SO happy that you’re still alive, well, & “galloping”!! When I was watching your show, you were still just a “kid” …… I’ll be 75 the day after Christmas…… Keep well, old friend!! ~ ~ ;o)

Hi Graham and Treena, just wanted to say that meeting you two of you was so inspirational for my wife and I. Cooking with you, then for you on your anniversary was an absolute treat that we will never forget and I am going to spread the word of healthy cooking far and wide. P.S. I’ve started using your acronym FABIS a lot in my cooking classes, with proper credit to you, of course. I look forward to the next time we talk, Chef Chris Holen

I am so excited to have found this website and to know you are still cooking.
As a littlegirl of 6 or 7 I would watch you on tv, I would never miss a show.
I remember once you cooked if I remember right a rat, you know how you used to pick someone from the audience to come and eat with you,that time no one wanted to taste your cooking.
as an adult I didn’t remember why I watch you, but now since you have reappeared on reruns on the cooking channel I know why, you are funny and i think I had a crush on you.
You are still very handsome.

We are out of stock of both the large and small yogurt strainers and will not be restocking. As well as they are no longer manufactured. Following is a simple replacement. Hope this is helpful!

Yogurt Cheese
Makes 1 cup

2 cups plain nonfat yogurt (choose one with no gelatin added)

Place the yogurt in a paper towel lined strainer over a bowl. Cover and let it drain in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight. Transfer the cheese into a covered container and discard the whey.
