...Four Seasons trio present their recipes, and raisons d'être, in succinct and practical form. Elevating basic family dishes to haute cuisine, their prescriptions range from the basic soufflé and chicken pot pie to such palate pleasers as cold peach soup, filet of pompano with citrus fruits and pistachio nuts, and filet of veal with crabmeat and wild mushrooms -capped perhaps with a topless chocolate cake or a walnut tart...

"I was blacklisted and put down for what I believed in," she says. "People finally realized that I was being mistreated." The TV show, produced by Anita Bryant Ministries, blends "wholesome entertainment, God and country...
