"Dear David, i just wanted to congratulate you and your staff on your excellent show TV. I love it. I show it all time and I really enjoy their recipes and your interaction with those delicious, lovely, delightful grandmamas. I love their personalities and their recipes. (Grace a elles, je voyage tous les jours et m'invite a votre table en imaginant les gouts et parfums que liberent leurs delicieuses recettes). They all remind me of my own Mamie when she was alive. I love your humour, you are so cute and charming with those grandmamas. I love your flirt with those ladies you are so nice with them, your participation on their recipes particularly the Evelyne Koop's recipe.I hope your show continues for a long time. God bless you and those lovely grandmothers regards A big shalom from Israel (excuse my poor english expression)

Dear David! I have seen almost every one of your shows and it was nice to see also a Finnish grandmother. Actually I was very proud of her! Your show is the best cooking show on tv.

Hi David, I loved watching you on Loving Spoonfuls. I think I've seen most of the shows and in fact, I often watched re-broadcasts because I enjoyed them so much. The funniest shows featured Caribbean grandmas. I am glad that you have another show on tv but really miss your antics on the cooking show. Please - bring Loving Spoonfuls back!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Bring back Loving Spoonfuls!, The new show just isn't the same. I miss the grandmas, and the recipes, the stories they'd tell etc... It was about the only show that you could sit down with your family and friends and learn and enjoy. I miss it very much!

I highly recommend the show come back to W TV someday soon, because it will be fun to bring back some of the Grandmas that may still be alive....Oh that will be fun for us to watch them make new recipes and to know some of us whom may have watch the show may now be Grandmas ourselves...and we may learn a thing or 2 off our countries...you see we may be the off springs from a Grandma and really never visit the country they came from, and this show will surely halp us to know a little of our back ground on FOOD of course, and will give us an hour of MY COUNTRY GRANDMA ON TV IN CANADA. so W, think about it??????

Dear Loving Spoonfuls fans, If we felt there was enough of a demand, we would most certainly make a collection of episodes available. Let us know on this bulletin board if a DVD or Videotape collection of the series is something you would buy.

I am originally from Canada and I will definitely miss seeing Loving Spoonfuls. W Network, you were way off base on this one. This was a great show with an obviously huge fan base. Do you think you'll ever put out videos of the show? I know I would buy all the seasons if you did.

I too will miss your show David. Although I'm looking forward to still seeing you on the network, it won't be the same without seeing you with all the grandmas. What were you thinking W Network??? You should be cancelling "A Guy & A Girl". Is there any show more annoying than that one???

Don't be soooo rude, alot of people looove David Gale, and a lot have expressed their let down that this show was not picked up again, that is WTN. I wish it would come back!!! David you light up our homes and have given us the Canadian tradition that we all crave...I wish this show would be picked up by FoodTV...let's keep our fingers crossed.

Uh, his name is David, not Dave. Secondly, it's says right at the top of the Loving Spoonfuls site that they now have a new show, and to click for details. It clearly states Loving Spoonfuls is off the air and this other new show has begun production for the W Network. Are you blind or what?

I just watched your Christmas special and I very much enjoyed it!! I am truly dissapointed to find out the show has been cancelled. I always loved to watch the show. It wasn't about the food as much as how David made all these wonderful ladies feel special and you could really tell. Myself and many of my friends can't believe it is no longer on and if there is anything that we can do to help bring it back just let us know.

I am happy to have been a part of the show...David and the other Grandmas has become as extended family to all of us... I will hope that in the future we will be called upon again to do another cooking show....if still alive.... Thank you to David and the crew, and do have a MERRY XMAS...PEACE TO ALL.

I'd been out of the country for awhile. I did not realize right away the show had been cancelled - what a SHAME. A most unusual way to keep cultures alive and a fabulous original concept; bringing us all together through the traditions of food, families and love - not to mention the generational values it offered. Where will we go from here? You will be missed. Thank You for all your wonderfull creative effforts.

When is the show coming back on. I miss the fun, joking and real humanity of this show. This is the kind of show that the Heritage Minister should take interest in as it brings Canadians of all backgrounds together and celibrates our cultures. It is by seeing how other people live that we could dispell the fear many people have of cultures they don't understand. Of course it takes a women's show to open the doors of our kitchens (the warmest, most nurturing part of our homes). It is wonderful to feel the warmth and pride the women have in their homes and the work they do in the kitchen. I also enjoy seeing the pride the men in their homes have in the women they love. Bring the show back, Please!

Hi. My mom and I really enjoyed watching David in Loving Spoonfuls. We were very disappointed when it went off the air. It is a great show. David is so funny with the Grannies he cooks with and their families. Why do we get rid of the good shows and keep the crappy ones? Take care, Lynda

I am so upset that the show has been discontinued. I hope we will be able to receive the information as to when the December special will air off the site. David is fantastic in any show he has done. I have to say my favorite show was with Cosamina and her son Rocco.(She was sweet and he was easy on the eyes) I have made the Tiramisu since having seen the show at least a dozen times. Thank you for the wonderful shows.

It is a real shame when something so refreshing and nice that shows our Canada and its people at its best. David Gale is a wonderful host and is loved by everyone. I for one will miss this show. It should have never been cut. Hope we can get enough people to complain to show that the program was a top hit for alot of Canadians. I wish to send wishes for a wonderful life to all those associated with the program for I'm sure they will not work on anything as enjoyed as this show was by so many.

I cannot believe that Loving Spoonfuls has been scrapped... and for another stupid reality dating show? That is the last thing we need on television. Loving Spoonfuls was humourous, educational and refreshing... not to mention of the few ways we revered our elders. I am sad to hear that the show was cancelled... what a shame.

Well, W-Network, you have done it again. Loving Spoonfuls was one of the best shows ever and now it is not being shown. David Gale is the best. To boot, Coronation Street has been taken off, too, just as I was getting interested! Shame on you. Just wait - David Gale is going to show up on the Food Network, and rightfully so.

If I were younger I would marry David...He is just adorable and puts a smile on my face from beginning to end. He has a great personality and knows just how to get his grandmothers to relax and have fun. Please don't stop this show...I love it... and as I can see so do hundreds of others. Sincerely, Barbara

I LOVE this show. It's very interesting learning recipies from other cultures. Because they're made in someones home, they look easy and want me to really try some of them myself. I'm a Punjabi (from Punjab in India) myself but I still love watching people cook recepies from the many other cultures of India. Three CHEERS for this show. Please keep this up!

What a shame I am extremely dissapointed that your the show will no longer be doing new episodes. One great theme of a show that you didn't get to capture was the great cooking of a Maltese grandmother. My grandmother would have been perfect!! Oh well, I'll keep watching all of the re-runs!!

Ditto Debra in WPG from June 3. We need MORE of the "Loving Spoonfuls" type of programming that warms hearts and brings families together to laugh and cry...not more brain numbing. I too was shocked to hear that this awesome show was not picked up for more episodes.?????WHY NOT????? Love, A really big fan. Lisa

Hi Pearl Patel, thanks for your comments, nice to see a fellow Trini responding to the show...however, why not try the Pelau recipe? I too was accustom to the only rice and pigeon peas with meat pelau because I am from the South, but someone in Diego Martin gave me this recipe 15 yrs ago and since then my friends and family has never tasted a sweeter Pelau Trini style...

Hello David Gale and crew of Loving Spoonfuls. I am a BIG fans of your show and I watch every day. I even bought your cookbook and I am very glad that I can get the recipes that are not in the book on your website. My favourite episode is with Winnie Fields. She's a real treasure. I hope WTN will decide to do more episodes of your show. I would enjoy seeing some new ones. All the Best!!!

We watched the Ukranian show last night - this is our heritage and since we have lost our mothers there are recipes which we would love to have. You had the Ukranian show on last night and today I am on the internet to pick up the recipes and only found one - with the others saying you have to order the book. One recipe was the Ukranian Neleskini (cheese rolls) the other was a pastry - dough in triangles with apple or prune filling topped with a sprinkle of sugar. Can you possibly send me these two recipes - it would be greatly appreciated and our family would love to have an old fashioned Ukranian dinner just like our mother did. Thank you very much, J. West

The show Loving Spoonfuls is and has been the very first TV programme for GRAND MOTHERS that I have known of in Canada in the 27 years I've lived here. Imagine a GRANDMA cooking on TV????? We've been there, done that, maybe some of us thinking of what next...and then there is Loving spoonfuls and David Gale knocking at our door!!!by golly! what a previledge, oh what a joy this was to put together some of our famous recipes which was done with great JOY, and a presentation which cannot be copied because it was the ORIGINAL every time...I do extend my sincere Love and Gratitude to the team of loving spoonfuls for the way they conduct themselves at our home, the way they made us as grandmas feel on one of our special days cooking on TV for all Canada to see. Thank you David. Thank you Loving spoonfuls. With Love and thanks always...my family will never forget you, because the video and photos will live in our home and hearts for my great grand kids to see long after I am gone. ZALINA NARINESINGH

I appreciate how your show has explored the foods of many different cultures. I am so tired of seeing European foods being featured on television all the time. Keep up the great job of celebrating our country's diversity. Great job on teaching the narrow-minded ones that different cultures and customs do exist among us.

Hi David, what a wonderful show you have! The recipes mean so much more when there is a story behind them. I enjoyed your show with Mrs. Maraglia and her son, especially since I LOVE Tiramisu! I hope you don't mind playing matchmatcher! I could help but notice her son Rocco. I am sure you may get a lot of requests but I hope you don't mind passing my email on to him :-) Keep on cooking and bringing those wonderful stories of inspiration! EJ

i just finished watching Hungarian cooking featuring Andrea Vincent. I am of Hungarian descent and growing up I ate very traditional dishes including the ones on the show today. I was reminded of a lovely, simpler time. my father who was our chef passed away a few years back and my mom doesnt cook Hungarian. BUT...I was so impressed with the show overall that I've decided to tackle the recipies and proudly serve to my family. This is a legacy I can pass on to my 3 children of their heritage. I am 35 years old with a rare and sadly deadly form of brain cancer. I am at home taking treatment and feel with help I can accomplish this meal. thanks again, m Marci Gray

Hello David, I watch your show every day on WTN. The variety of cultures I can learn about is so intresting to me.Especially the European ones as many of the recipies are the ones my Mom used to make. They are good refresher courses so to speak as Mom is gone know four years. Your charming personality makes the show a fun one to watch,not like some boring cooking shows.

Hi Guys, I love your show and have been enjoying it since it's inception. Haven't been to the web site for a bit, so was shocked when I saw the bulletin stating that the future of Loving Spoonfuls was under review. Do you mean under review solely for a change in content, or for possibly not being renewed? Say it's the the latter. Tell W to forget about it's new line up of assorted drek and keep loving Spponfuls on the screen. You will never run out of willing participants, nor willing viewers. If anything, we need _more_ (in terms of specials, etc.) not complete cessation. All the best, Debra In Wpg.

Hi David and staff; I really love your show,I started watching it after the yoga show,you know,lying there on the floor, watching an episode,I was hooked, I have been trying some of these recipes and they are great! Everyone in our household enjoys the experimenting cook! I have always enjoyed cooking ethnic dishes, and the Grandmothers that you have onthe show make some of the best . It's great condsidering that they come from the old homelands and have brought the originals with them. I can recall my mother making many German dishes, just like your German Granmothers. Keep up the good work, I love your charm,and your off the wall humor. Just my style. I do have a question, sometimes I have (of course quickly written down the recipes) noticed that some of the ingredient amounts have changed, was this done because Grandma made a boo boo or did you test it and alter it later? Thanks. again.

Thanks to all of you at lovingspoonfuls for making it happen and continuing the great job. One suggestion, for the ingredients, it is good if it is placed in a small visuall box in the corner of the screen (keeps adding during your show), so that if people miss the beginning, they know what has been added as the show goes on.

You know what David, I was thinking maybe, you should have an episode just for the Grandpa's since father's day is just around the corner, you never know what grandpa you will find that just loves to cook like grandma. Keep up the good work. Bye.

Dear Loving Spoonfuls, I love your show, and I love David's wit and sense of humour. I do have one question, where can I find/buy a metal kulfi, cause I'd like to try the recipe. Thanks for bringing us a wonderful show and David keep up the good work and never ever change. May God Richly bless you and yours always.

Dear Loving Spoonfuls: Wow!!! What better word is there to describe your show??? I love it!!! I have always been an avid cook ( I am 37 years old) and your show is wonderful. Not only do I get some great recipes, the women are so wonderful to watch and your host is adorable! He seems to have such fun and really enjoys being there. So many cooking shows are so hum-drum...mix this, add that....your show is so much fun!I watched the Mother's Day special today and it was a lovely tribute. I want all the recipes from this show.....I can not wait to get your cookbook. Keep up the great job - don't change a thing.....Thanks!

Hello Loving Spoonfuls - my mom, the auctioneer Grandma, Barb Richards was also on the show, and I agree with ZALINA NARINESINGH the Trinidadian Grandmother. The show was filmed at my home in one day, David, the crew, and everyone involved in the show are awesome - beyond words! They came to my home early in the morning prepared to do any cleaning (including my stove!) and like anyone else would do, I had cleaned - cleaned - cleaned before they got there. All the food prep and any handling of foods is done with care and all items are kept clean and sanitary. With health issues at a current high I can only imagine what the crew and all involved are doing to keep standards at their highest. It is amazing to see all that goes into a ten hour day made into 23 minutes of show time! I enjoy every show and feel a great sense of pride whenever I think of my small part in just one show. David is awesome and the perfect guy for the show! Looking forward to many more fabulous shows in the future! Keep Loving those Spoonfuls!

Hello to all Lovingspoonfuls viewers... I am the TRINIDADIAN GRANDMOTHER,I just want you the viewers to know that you can't really see everything on this 30 mins show daily..however, each show was done at our homes and lasted for over 10 loving hours...the crew is fabulous, words cannot explain...the point I want to make is this...washing of hands! after playing with a pet! well believe me sanitation on the show is #1..as well as everything else, too numerous to mention...and doing a show at your home I am sure you will clean your house upside down(this is a Trinidadian expression) especially allll pets in that house...so folks rest assur that the whole house, kitchen,utensils, even our finger nails were so clean, if they could speak they would say DAVID the host, has really out done himself by promoting the show Loving spoonful, and bringing us Grammas to the forefront when some Grandmas are forgotten and tuck somewhere in a Nursing home waiting to die..Thank you David and WTV (u have my email address so reply if u want, viewers) David, I am waiting for my next show...remember when I did my show I never ever saw any of your shows before...but now I know what I know so do have another show for Grandmas who want to come back...I am 60 on April 15 lots of cooking going on at my house..bye

Dear Web Site Visitors, I am honoured and humbled to read your comments and observations. It is a great compliment to our grandmothers and production team that you are so affected by the stories, personalities and of course the amazing recipes on our show. Let me assure you that we wash our hands very often and always after playing with pets, or handling raw meat. We spend a whole day with each grandmother and only the best 23 jam-packed minutes make it to air. Our editors are so good they make the whole experience look like it's happening in real time. With the current state of health in the world we will attempt in the future to show our hand washings and give everyone peace of mind. Thanks for all the amazing comments and keep watching.

Dear David: Recently discovered your show and find it refreshing. These are obviously meals that go over well and can feed many, perhaps even last a day or two.I especially like when we are presented with a whole meal, as in the Moussaka episode because then we get an understanding for what goes together, soup,main dish, salad and desert. Even if you don't go through the recipe of what compliments the main dish at least mentioning what fits well is a help because they are ethnic specific. Just a note, when you fed the dog and pet him and then continued to help prepare the food. This was slightly revolting. Get the camera to show you quickly wash hands under the tap, just for our stomachs sake. Have a great day. Barbara

I just finished watching the show that the previous writer commented on. I too found the grandmother to be cranky and controlling and then she explained it all! She at one time had been a nun, this explains it all for me. I was raised in the Catholic church and taught by a bunch of control freak nuns, this grandmother fit right in to my everlasting pictures of nuns. I don't think she meant to be so abrasive, I think it is a part of her she can't let go of. David, you deserve a medal for not locking her in that pantry or just walking away.

I have rediscoverd cooking since having to retire from work due to health issues. I love your show and love the recipes on the website. It is refreshing to learn from women who for years have cooked and never gotten a nod from anyone, instead of some rich woman who can buy her own show (marthastewart)and fake her way through recipes. Most of the time these so called chefs on cooking shows have ingredients listed that you would have to sell your home to pay for, the grandmothers use everyday or easy to find ingredients. I love the host and love the whole flavor of the show!

To the staff of Loving Spponfuls: What a delightful show to see on air. I hope it continues for many seasons. To see the generations come together and learn from one another is a remarkable accomplishment. We can learn so much from our elders, if we just take the time to listen. The recipes are unique as are the people on the show. Here is one viewer wishing you continued success. Wish other producers could learn from a concept as yours. No violence, no bad language, no blood or sex......hooray for you!!!! What a nice break from the "everyday" shows. Sincerely, S. Roberts

Regarding the previous comment,and to set the record straight: the episode with Goan grandmother Elma Lobo did have some 'edge' but there was never any real animosity between David and the Grandmother. It was merely 'sparring' and 'verbal jousting'. As creator of Loving Spoonfuls I am interested in all types of women for the show with all sorts of personalities-a spicy Goan certainly has her place in the mix. Keep in mind it can take many varied flavours to make one delicious recipe. Vive la difference!

David: I thoroughly enjoy watching your loving spoonfuls show and for the most part find it very entertaining and sometimes quite touching. However, today's featured grandmother was a TERRIBLE guest. She was from Goan and totally berated you during the entire program. You were a very good sport but I think you should have just walked away and let her make the receipe by herself..she certainly did not seem to appreciate your help anyway. I am sure that she must have a 'few' nice traits but definitely did not portray any during this segment. You have such a warm, caring way with the seniors and this lady? did not appreciate or respect you in the least. In fact, it was quite demeaning and I think perhaps your producers should completely avoid these type of personalities. Most grandmothers are loving and kind...I guess this guest was the exception. Anyway, David, keep up the good work and know that you are bringing much pleasure to many viewers. I am sure that you are an excellent father. I have seen you interact with your parents and they must be very proud of your accomplishments. Thanks Winnie L. Sheen

Loving Spoonfuls is one of the few shows that a family can sit down together to watch. My 6 Yrs old daughter loves the show and wonders if her mommy will ever be able to cook like the guests on the show. Needless, between watching the show, and my daughters pleds I now spend more time in the kitchen trying new foods. Thanks!!

"DAVID" is my favorite thing the grandmas exclaim when he's joking with them and they get a little teased by his antics. It's such fun to watch these divas and learn some heritage recipes! Both my Grandmas passed away before I knew them, so essentailly,I have adopted Grandmas from around the world however I can. Loving Spoonfuls is a fantastic show, a lovely new Grandma every day,even the Queen!LOL. Don't ever stop! Cheers!

I love your show! I'm only 33 but love to see David interact with the Grandma's. I watch it more for the stories from the different cultures and to see David charm the ladies, than I do for recipes! I am Hungarian and saw the one episode with the Mrs. Vincent, but none of her recipes are ones I'm familiar with. I would love to see another Hungarian Grandma - how about mine? You should come to BC, we have lots of culture out here (and great wines in the Okanagan)! I think you have really come up with an original program idea, and it is a great one. I have been getting my Grandma to teach me some of the Hungarian dishes she makes. I want to be able to pass them on to my family some day, not to forget them. She always has great stories about making the dishes with her mother when she was a child. Your show has really encouraged me to spend the time learning more from here. Keep up the good work!

Hi Loving Spoonfuls, I adore your show! It's the only show I make sure I watch as often as possible. I have a two year old son and we watch "Mummy's cooking show" together. He can say "Ukranian,Sudanese, Hungarian etc... oh and fish head soup! I wasn't sure how to explain the rabbit... I have a cute-like-crazy Japanese Mother in law and am trying to convince her to try out? apply for? a spot on the show. How do we contact you about this? She has some powerful stories about being interned during WW2, makes a mean california roll and her son (my husband) is an Elvis impersonator...Loving Spoonfuls material don't you think? Oh and she also plays the piano very well but is shy. David could convince her I'm sure. Please let me know what the next step is. In the meantime my son, Finn, and I will continue to watch. Misao (my Mother in law loves to watch now too). I'm spreading the Grandma message! Thank you so much for producing such an excellent, celebratory half an hour for me to enjoy and learn from everyday. With appreciation and a warm heart, Kelly Shimizu P.S. I think David Gale is wonderful

I had read about your show previously but only managed to see the third edition with Grandma Araxi! My husband and I were watching the show and by the end of it we were both laughing hysterically. Not only are the recipes delicious, but the grandmothers are witty, dynamic, and definitely in charge. GRANDMOTHERS RULE! Keep up the good work!
