The fourth season of the 2014 James Beard Award-winning “Martha Stewart’s Cooking School” returned to PBS stations in 163 markets on 398 channels nationwide on Oct. 4.
This season follows three successful seasons of the series, which averaged 700,000 weekly viewers per original episode. Each 30-minute episode, which was both produced by MSLO and inspired by Emmy Award-winning TV host Stewart’s best-selling book of the same title, features Stewart demonstrating more classic cooking techniques and basics using her signature step-by-step, how-to teaching process.
This season features all new episode themes, including on the bone, mushrooms, cooking with wine, one-pot meals, sandwiches, French bistro classics, steakhouse, Italian favorites and more.
KitchenAid will continue to serve as a sponsor of the show. “We’re excited to partner with Martha Stewart, whose expertise has long been a source of creativity for home cooks around the world,” said Beth Robinson, senior brand experience manager for KitchenAid. “From our stand mixers to our wall ovens, KitchenAid appliances are designed to provide culinary inspiration and help cooks take on any challenge.”
This season also welcomes a new sponsor, O Olive Oil. “We are delighted to partner with ‘Martha Stewart’s Cooking School’ this season,” said Greg Hinson, president and founder of O Olive Oil & Vinegar. “Martha Stewart herself has long been an inspiration to us here at O. She has consistently reinforced for us the idea that food can be both healthy and delicious while appealing to the senses.
“We like to think we make food that tastes as good as it looks. For us, making oil and vinegar is a total sensory experience. I love to walk the groves and vineyards where our products start their journey to the table. Family-farmed, biodynamic and organically grown citrus and olives make O uniquely California.”
“I’m very happy that ‘Martha Stewart’s Cooking School’ continues to be so well-received and is back for another season,” said Stewart. “The show brings together my two greatest passions – cooking and teaching – and it’s truly wonderful to see home cooking so embraced by viewers. The recipes are very accessible and I’m excited for our new themes, including one-pot meals.”
