Not sure if the Historic category applies to it, since it is not the first cooking show. Feel free to add it, though.)

Listing of episode 1 of Dish of the Month in Radio Times

Status: Lost

Dish of the Month is an early BBC television cooking show. Hosted by French chef Marcel Boulestin, it is the second TV series Boulestin was involved in following Cook's Night Out, and the televised short Milk Dishes earlier in 1937.

Background

As the name of the show suggests, Dish of the Month involved Boulestin showing how to make a certain meal on a monthly basis. Three episodes were produced, broadcast on 15th October, 12th November, and 10th December respectively.[1] Episode 1 consisted of Boulestin showing how to make a khebab,[2] episode 2 focused on a game dish,[3] while episode 3 detailed the making of sauce sabayon.[4] According to Radio Times issues, each episode would last around 15 minutes.

Availability

Like other early BBC television broadcasts, including all of Boulestin's shows, Dish of the Month was broadcast live and was not recorded. Therefore, all three episodes are now permanently missing. Unlike some of Boulestin's other programs, no surviving photos exist of the show.
