I’m over-the-moon to announce the debut of The Key Ingredient with Sheri Castle, a brand new cooking show on PBS NC where I share stories about local
ingredients that bring me joy. This is a dream come true. With a small crew lead by the accomplished producer, Heather Burgess, we flew in and made eight episodes for our first season. Each show highlights a single ingredient and includes field trips, cook-alongs with chefs in their home kitchens, and me guiding viewers through some of my all-time favorite recipes designed for home cooks, peppered with my famous tips and hints. We share stories, learn things, eat well, and laugh whenever we can --they’re all key ingredients to a wonderful time together.
I had so much fun cooking on Home & Family. They invited me out to share my Thanks for Taking Me to the Moon Peanut Butter MoonPie Pie from the Waitress Pie Book. Here’s a link to the segment.
My friends on Hallmark’s Home & Family declared my famous Pecan Praline Cheesecake from Instantly Southern the best cheesecake of their lives.
I cannot tell you how much fun I had with my dear friend, Vivian Howard, and the entire crew when I appeared on episode 7 of Season 3.
I've had the pleasure of joining DG Martin on North Carolina Bookwatch to talk books.

Episode 5: The Seven Essential Southern Dishes
In Episode 5, from Old North Durham, North Carolina, Sheri Castle reads her story "The Seven Essential Southern Dishes." A note about this story : It is the second most read (and most argued over) story in Bitter Southerner history. With that in mind, there's a bit more discussion in today's podcast than in the last few episodes. Brunswick Stew, Pound Cake, Chess Pie, Field Peas and Chow Chow, Country Ham and Red-Eye Gravy, Potlikker Greens and Cornbread... Kyle and Sheri discuss it all. We also dive into some dangerous waters : sugar in cornbread, cream cheese in pound cake and the time the sheriff had to post outside of Sheri's house BECAUSE of one of these recipes!
As part of the promotional tour for my book I did interviews and appearances on more than 50 radio stations around the country, including a guest appearance on Martha Stewart Radio on SiriusXM.
