From the Frugal Gourmet to Jacques Pepin, PBS has launched many chefs into the mainstream through entertaining and educational cooking shows. The newest addition to this lineup is the talented Chef Harry Schwartz, who will be debuting on PBS with a new 15-part series, to begin airing nationally in May.
