‘COOKING with Olive’, Guyana’s only high definition and high standard culinary programme, will soon see the end of season one, but season two would begin shortly.
Season one was a success, and had a lot of support, according to the organisers. The motto of the programme is “To be different, and to think outside the box”.
In an exclusive interview with this publication, Ms. Olive Gopaul, producer of the programme, said season one was successful and was an amazing experience, but she is looking forward to season two, which should be more fun and more interactive. She conceded, however, that more guest appearances and chefs from across the nation are needed on the programme.
The main objective of ‘Cooking with Olive’ is to encourage individuals to cook healthy and eat healthy, because a lot of illnesses are in the air. Chefs who would like to come on the programme must use home grown ingredients and products of Guyana, since the programme aims to develop persons in a healthy way.
Broadcasting times are as follows: on Wednesdays at 10:30hrs on the state-owned NCN Channel 11; on Fridays, from 9:30hrs on TVG Channel 28; and on Saturdays from 14:30hrs on HBTV Channel 9. Folks who would like to eat healthy and live healthy can tune in on any of those days to be informed.
The producers and team of “Cooking with Olive” would like to thank the sponsors for making the programme possible. The sponsors are: Gizmoz and Gadgets, Ashmins Trading, Atlantic Mining, Integrated Security Service, and Rossignol Butchery, just to name a few. Anyone wishing to be on the sponsor’s list can do so.
However the producers of the programme are disappointed at not getting other companies to see the benefit of “Cooking with Olive”. They, however, encourage those companies to recognise the value and impact “Cooking with Olive” will have on their products. They urge those companies to come on board and support the programme, since they will also be benefiting, as there would be a demonstration on how their products will be used, whether it is ingredients, soda or wine.
