"Cooking with Granny" Announces Funding Update, Unveils Line-Up
Greek, Caribbean, Puerto Rican, Russian-Jewish & Korean Grandmothers to be Featured, Pending a Successfully Funded Kickstarter Campaign.
New York, NY, May 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Still in its Kickstarter funding phase, “Cooking with Granny,” a deliciously enlightening Web series that weaves Grandmas’ family recipes into their life stories, unveils its line-up for the first half of the season. Part cooking show, part docu-series, “Cooking with Granny” will follow these inspirational grandma chefs from grocery stores to kitchens across the cultural landscape of New York.
Planned Line-Up
- Barbara Aliprantis (Queens) will dust off a generations-old recipe for an archaic family favorite, a Greek-style red wine-braised octopus stew that invokes an interesting debate over frozen versus fresh octopus
- Louisa Grier (Brooklyn) will shed light on her own secret recipe for a Caribbean hot sauce that bursts with the farm-fresh fruits and vegetables evocative of her native Trinidad and Tobago
- Maria Esposito (Bronx) will demonstrate all the steps behind her Puerto Rican “pernil con arroz con gandules,” a slow-roasted, days-marinated pork shoulder accompanied by a heaping side of yellow rice and pigeon peas
- Nina Iskin (Manhattan) will cook up stuffed peppers that are as colorful and rich as her Russian-Jewish lineage -- her family had once famously hosted Vladimir Lenin at their dinner table
- Sanok Kim (Queens), the show creator’s own grandma and one of the original North Korean defectors, sitting alongside her friend, will compose an exclusive double-interview that recalls strategies for surviving the Korean War
Kickstarter Funding Update
Launched on April 22, 2014, the “Cooking with Granny” Kickstarter campaign has raised $5,800 to date. If the project does not reach its $11,000 funding goal by Wednesday, May 21, 2014, it will not receive any monetary support, per Kickstarter’s all-or-nothing model, and the show cannot be produced. Funds would cover crew, equipment and ingredient costs.
