On the last day of March, I was lucky enough to be invited by Aslı Mutlu to take part
in one of her cookery programs for Kent TV. While the production team Reyhan,
Hamdi and Sedat set up the cameras and microphone, Aslı and I sorted out the ingredients
and worked out how many dishes and utensils we would need.
I donned one of Aslı's handmade aprons. Reyhan took a few photographs and with
only the instruction not to talk while using the pestle and mortar, we were off. No rehearsing, no notes and no make-up because it hadn't occurred to me to take any along.
It was mildly nerve wracking but not as scary as I expected because Aslı, pro that she is, filled in all the gaps where I lapsed into silence. I have not yet plucked up the courage to view any more than the first few minutes of the programme, but I'm told it is 44 minutes long- a few glasses of something strong will be needed to get me to sit down and watch the whole thing all the way through.

Bet you were grand Annie, when are you, sorry the prog being aired?
ReplyDelete. . the pride and joy of being somewhere before that retched Kilroy person! Good job, Annie, now your friends and followers will be able to bask in your reflected glory :-D
ReplyDeleteA strong glass of something before the filming begins also helps :-) You did very well, and yes, Asli is brilliant at leading and guiding the conversation.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's fantastic. Most definitely pour yourself a glass of something and get it watched. Bet it's great! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're a star! You'll be hosting your own Saturday morning cookery programme before you know it. Afiyet olsun.
ReplyDeleteB to B, I would so love to see the program! Please let us know how and when. (We don't have a TV but watch everything on our computer which seems to work.) I'll bet it was mildly nerve-wracking, but I'll bet you were wonderful. A warm and sincere congratulations. The food photos look great, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is fantastic Annie, how I wished we could watch, is there a link we can watch online, I am sure you've been brilliant :) xx
ReplyDeleteVery brave Annie - well done. The link didn't take me anywhere....would be good to see your first TV appearance.
ReplyDeleteThose photos show delicious looking food. Good for you for daring to be on camera, that would not be my cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteYou're much braver than I could ever be and I bet you came across really well. Just wish I could see the programme.
