“Howard brings that same storyteller sensibility—paired with serious restaurant-honed kitchen chops—to teach home cooks easily achievable building block recipes and techniques that lend an extra level of pleasure to the simplest dishes, while letting the ingredients shine through.”

“Howard’s enthusiastic exploration of her life in and out of the kitchen shows her at her best and most delightful.”

“I’ve been mentioned in the same sentence as Ina Garten and finally feel like I’ve made it,” said Vivian.

In her new show, Somewhere South, Howard steps instead into the role of host, taking viewers on a journey through the history of Southern food and placing those foods into their context in the modern South. By exploring the food that people in the South are making, Howard aims to paint a portrait of the communities we are all a part of and to highlight the ways in which where we come from directly influence who we are.

This Will Make It Taste Good is due out in October 2020.

We have been doing something excellent in a place you don’t expect.

Vivian’s new show will premiere on PBS March 27th and air nationally in primetime until May 1st. Catch a preview December 13th.
