Cooking
show hosted by the frantic paced Graham Kerr who well deserved his
"Galloping Gourmet" nom de plume. The show was later retitled
The Galloping Gourmet. Kerr was a large fellow and made much use of
butter and other such naughty ingredients in his recipes but he returned
in the 1990's (as guest on daytime tv shows and the like) in a new
slimmed down version extolling the virtues of low fat cooking.
