About Chris Fennimore:
As WQED Multimedia’s former Director of Programming and host of ‘QED Cooks, Chris Fennimore has worn many hats (and occasionally an apron) at the station. The Brooklyn native joined WQED Pittsburgh in 1985 as Director of National Programming. In 1991 he became Director of Programming, responsible for selecting and scheduling the television programs that aired on WQED’s four channels.
In August 1993, Chris incorporated his own love for cooking with his responsibility for providing quality television programs — and inaugurated the cooking marathon format with “Zucchini Cheesecake.” Since then, he has produced — and hosted — more than 150 live cooking marathons, ranging from “A is for Appetizers” to “S is for Seafood.” Public television stations across the nation now air the national versions of the programs under the series title, “America’s Home Cooking.”
Chris has been awarded both an Emmy and a James Beard Award.
