The Kitchen Diva! Show Concept

     Book Boosters, Inc. has as part of its mission to educate a diverse population on healthy living. Through a 30-minute weekly television program featuring Angela Shelf Medearis, The Kitchen Diva! , Book Boosters, Inc. will introduce the concept of organic, all-natural eating habits to viewers nationwide.
     The Kitchen Diva! television show was created to teach viewers how to prepare healthy alternatives with a “Diva-style” twist to traditional ethnic recipes, comfort foods, and familiar recipes; to support farmer's markets; to promote the use of organic, locally grown produce and seasonal cooking; to teach viewers how to prepare tasty vegetarian meals using non-meat alternatives; and to encourage them to consider vegetarian recipes for one or two meals per week.

     The show will encourage viewers to get back into the kitchen, around the table, and to eat seasonally. Angela Shelf Medearis is indeed a fresh face and a new and diverse voice in the culinary and health field. Her warm, engaging, and zany personality will attract a new audience to organic, whole foods, vegetarian and ethnic recipes.
