Nesting Newbies Magazine - Premier Issue - Fall 2009

Cooking Segments--As a graduate of the California Culinary Academy of San Francisco, a former private chef, and owner of a catering company, Lea McIntosh was surprised at the number of couples and young people who don’t know cooking basics, let alone how to prepare food “from scratch.”

“Many were raised on fast food in always-on-the-go households, so they didn’t learn by cooking together as a family,” says McIntosh. “I was excited to discover how eager the ‘newbies’ were to get in the kitchen and start cooking.” McIntosh asks a newbie couple to give her a culinary challenge; then she invites them on set to work with her preparing her recipe solutions. “It’s unrehearsed and very interactive. I demonstrate basic skills, like cutting an onion or how to hold a knife, and we create the kinds of dishes they’re interested in the most. I never know what questions they’ll ask or what’s going to happen from one moment to the next. I think viewers will appreciate the authenticity.” Each episode also includes a brief segment on setting a table, newbie style, to show viewers creative ways that they can make meal times special.

Blogs--Recipes, table top settings and behind-the-scenes images are posted in the blogs. Recipes can be downloaded in a PDF format and printed. Viewers can interact by making comments, sharing their ideas, and asking questions.

James Burkart of Burkart Video, directs, films and edits the cooking segments. Natalie Wi of Allure West Studios is the set photographer and the magazine’s Photography Editor. The site is currently sponsored by Calphalon, Dacor, Christopher Peacock Home and Bloomingdale's Stanford. Contests will be launched on the Nesting Newbies web site at www.nestingnewbies.com and the Nesting Newbies Facebook Fan Page.
