Emeril lends ‘green’ hand to Malden block party Thu Jun 26, 2008, 12:43 PM EDT
Malden -
TV chef Emeril Lagasse is lending his cooking expertise to help one Malden organization throw a block party that will be healthy — both for celebrators and the environment.
Three members of Friends of Oak Grove, Inc. (FOOGI), a Malden-based nonprofit dedicated to enhancing the health and betterment of the community, decided it was time to lighten up the fare at their organization’s annual block party slated for Sept. 8. So, they turned to Lagasse for help.
Karen Hayes, Jackie Bouley and Kimberly Ellis applied to be on Planet Green’s new television series, “Emeril Green,” a cooking show set in Whole Foods Market that teaches individuals how to cook with organic and locally grown foods.
After completing castings and interviews, the three were invited to be on the show and flew to Virginia on June 9 to tape the episode with the master chef.
