Part-chef. Part-student. All curiosity.

Vivian Howard returns to public television with an all-new, one-of-a-kind food variety show that unpacks the everyday questions we confront when we find ourselves in the kitchen.

With her expertise as a chef, a farmer’s daughter’s rural sensibility, and a mom's no-nonsense approach, Vivian serves up answers to your burning kitchen questions—all with a generous side of humor. Whether you're a kitchen novice, a seasoned cook, or a microwave magician, you'll walk away with simple recipes, smarter (nutritionist-approved!) shopping tips, and the kind of knowledge that makes you a more interesting dinner party guest.
