Charming and Dynamic Chef Danny Boome Hosts New Daytime Cooking Series 'Rescue Chef'

Series Premieres Saturday, March 1st at 12pm ET/PT

NEW YORK, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning this March, Food Network's new darling, Danny Boome, is "on call" responding to the pleas of viewers hoping to overcome personal culinary obstacles with his new series, Rescue Chef. These everyday cooks welcome problem-solving chef Boome into their homes and, most importantly, their kitchens. Boome offers simple, creative solutions and unique quick-fix ideas to save the day (and the meal)! Premiering Saturday, March 1st at 12pm ET/PT, the half-hour show infuses Food Network's successful "In the Kitchen" daytime line-up with Boome's outgoing personality and irresistible appeal.

"Danny is a charismatic young chef who will charm viewers with his passion for cooking instruction and his energetic style in the kitchen," said Bob Tuschman, Senior Vice President, Programming and Production for Food Network. "Rescue Chef speaks to our viewers' real-life cooking struggles, and Danny averts their kitchen crises with humor and flair."

From The Big Apple to The Lone Star State, Boome will "rescue" viewers across America from culinary meltdown. Whether Danny's helping a schoolteacher recreate her wedding's short ribs recipe for an anniversary dinner or perfecting culinary delights like Grandma's Mexican enchiladas, crispy southern fried chicken, and authentic Thai food -- each episode will guarantee supper success. Danny also encourages recipe risk-tasking with inventive ingredients to give stale meals a fresh twist.

"It's important to feel comfortable in the kitchen -- confident that perfection and originality are attainable with every recipe," says Boome. "With a straightforward, positive approach and an understanding of the basics, viewers will regard cooking -- even their most problematic recipe -- as a rewarding experience rather than a daunting chore."

British-born Danny Boome has traveled throughout North America and Europe exploring his culinary curiosity, hosted several Canadian and English television cooking shows, and served as a chef for high-profile European figures including Paris' Sultan of Oman. An advocate for educating children, parents, and teachers, Danny runs a successful cooking school and has appeared regularly on several UKTV programs. From semi-professional hockey to au pair, this "Rescue Chef" has explored many trades but always had a passion for cooking.
