I Love to Eat was a live television series on NBC that aired from August 30, 1946 to May 18, 1947, and was a cooking show hosted by chef and cookbook author James Beard.
[1] The show came after several successful one-off TV cooking segments featuring Beard alongside other chefs, including on programmes like Radio City Matinée (May 1946) and For You And Yours (June 1946).
[2] When the show started, each episode was 15 minutes long and presented at 8:30 p.m. EST on Fridays, immediately before The World in Your Home at 8:45 p.m.
Then Beard, appearing behind a kitchen counter, took over to demonstrate the preparation of some of his unique dishes for the live television audience.
As documented in the Library of Congress archives, the audio recordings of episodes from I Love to Eat (as recorded from live TV broadcasts over WNBT-TV in NY in 1946-47) include a 1947 episode featuring a ski report and ski luncheon discussions by Beard.
