So, who is Mr. Food?

Art Ginsberg invented the persona of Mr. food more than 25 years ago, and his idea of taking complicated recipes and adapting them to real kitchen cooking has made him a celebrity around the world.

His local television appearances began in 1975, and for 90 seconds a day, he brought his easy and tasty recipes to living rooms in cities across the county. Today, he can be seen in 150 cities.

At WEAU-TV, we're happy to have made Art and Mr. Food a part of our family.

Recipes

Ingredients Needed:

1 box frozen puff pastry

1 cup canned pumpkin

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 tsp. ground ginger

1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg

1 egg, beaten, to use for an egg wash on pastry dough

Directions:
1. Thaw one sheet of frozen puff pastry dough for about 30 minutes, until flexible but still cold.

2. Combine pumpkin, sugar and spices in a bowl. Set aside while preparing dough.

3. Place oven rack in center of oven and heat to 375°.

4. Roll out dough until thin, about 1/16 inch, and cut into four large circles.

5. Using your fingertips or a pastry brush, brush around edges of each circle with beaten egg.

6. Spoon about 2-3 Tbsp. pumpkin mixture into centers of circles.

7. Fold circles in half to cover mixture and seal the edges by crimping with a fork (dip fork in cold water each time to keep from sticking.) Brush tops of pasties with remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with a little granulated sugar.
