(PRWEB) April 30, 2004 -- We've all had that same dream that's been put on the back burner - quitting your job to pursue a life-long ambition or aspiration. Beginning April 1st on Recipe for Success, Food Network will follow the lives of viewers who've taken that intimidating yet rewarding step - professionals who have swallowed their fears and undergone a delicious career makeover, fulfilling a long-held fantasy of making a living in the culinary world. Each Thursday at 9:30 PM ET/PT, food dreams will be brought to life in this inspirational magazine series hosted by small business expert Marlie Hall.
“Recipe for Success is an exciting addition to our prime-time schedule, providing an opportunity for us to put our unique Food Network stamp on the story of the American dream,” said Kathleen Finch, VP, Prime Time Programming. “In addition to the compelling personal stories of the people who are following their culinary dreams, we learn the nuts and bolts of how they did it – from the first idea, to raising seed money, to making the first sale. Plus, viewers will gain tips and advice from a variety of experts about entering the food world.”
Whether it’s the couple who quit their 9-5 work day careers to move to Maine and open a bed-and breakfast, the flight attendant who opened her own gourmet coffee bar, a former model who started a cookie delivery business, an opera singer turned caterer for a well-known television personality, or the three American women who dropped everything to open a soul food restaurant in Paris, each story in this weekly half-hour will undoubtedly serve as an inspiration to food lovers everywhere.
Host Marlie Hall guides viewers through the challenges and triumphs of pursuing these dreams.
