PREMIERE DATES

EMERIL LAGASSE:

· "Emeril Tailgates" (16 episodes) - September 8

Football fans are notoriously competitive... and not just in stadiums cheering on their teams, but at tailgate parties too. There's always a fight over who makes the best chili, who brought the best wings, whose barbeque beef brisket reigns supreme. Well, now Emeril is going to help one lucky football fan win that fight at his next gathering. Each week on Emeril Tailgates, we will profile a different football-obsessed city and a home team super fan. We'll surprise the fan with a trip to Emeril's New Orleans kitchen to learn a new tailgate dish that will make their friends and family proud.

· "Emeril Cooks" (10 episodes) - November 18

From piping hot beignets borne in the French Quarter, to icy cold sake made with Louisiana-grown rice, New Orleans' unique blend of tradition and innovation is what fuels Emeril's cooking. Each week on Emeril Cooks, we'll meet a New Orleans local who sparks Emeril's culinary imagination. Guests like the crawfish concierge at a luxury hotel, or a local farmer (known as The Mushroom Lady) who helps keep Emeril's classic smoked mushroom pasta on the menu. We'll invite these special guests into Emeril's kitchen where they'll see firsthand how he makes the dishes they helped inspire.

MARTHA STEWART:

· "Martha Gardens" (12 episodes) - October 14

Welcome to Martha's Bedford Farm, the embodiment of the perfect farming and gardening life so many dream about! But just what does it take to keep up with more than 150 acres of gardens, pastures, greenhouses, orchards, animals, and more? In Martha Gardens, Martha will teach America how to garden like she does. Experience a year in the life of her farm told through monthly episodes - plus the tips, tricks, and tools every gardener - novice or expert - needs to be successful and have fun.

· "Martha Cooks" (10 episodes, debuting two per week) - November 16

From eggs from Martha's chickens cooked to perfection to a delicious strawberry jam made with ripe berries from her garden, Martha welcomes us onto her Bedford farm and into her kitchen to share some of her personal favorite recipes. Learn everything from Martha's techniques for preparing paella for a crowd to how to bake Martha's three favorite cookies of all time. Working with world-renowned chefs and dear friends, she will share techniques and how-to instructions like only Martha can.

· "Martha Holidays" (7 episodes) - November 18

There is something so magical about celebrations during the holidays! On Martha Holidays, Martha will reveal the best dishes to serve from dazzling desserts to scrumptious roasts and the perfect roast turkey. Plus decorating tips, gift ideas, crafts and so many things that make the season special. Martha Holidays will bring to life the joy of watching the holidays done beautifully.

MILK STREET - CHRIS KIMBALL:
