Food Network cooks up new shows

By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 4/3/2002 5:53:00 AM

Food Network is expanding its culinary fare with 10 new series and 65 specials for 2002.

The E.W. Scripps Co.-owned niche network is upping its programming budget 39 percent this year to finance its new original slate.

Programming highlights include Oliver's Twist, a food and culture show starring British cooking celebrity 'Naked Chef' Jamie Oliver (debuting May 14), and $40 a Day, beginning April 24, in which host Rachel Ray travels the world looking for bargain meals.

NBC's Today weatherman, Al Roker, will sample his best barbecue recipes for Al Roker's Big, Bad BBQ Special June 9.

And in the Cook and Ladder competition on Labor Day, 10 firefighters will cook up their best firehouse meals.
