A new cooking show featuring two Grammy-winning artists as guests is headed to public media in 2027 \u2014 and behind it is the person who taught them how to cook.<\/span><\/p>\n Maggie Baird<\/b>, the mother of <\/span>Billie Eilish<\/b> and <\/span>Finneas O\u2019Connell<\/b>, announced on March 26 that she is creating a lifestyle cooking series called <\/span>Climate Kitchen<\/span><\/i><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But the show is just part of a bigger project. Baird has also been writing a recipe book for her two kids \u2014 one filled with veganized family dishes and stories about the grandparents they never got to meet.<\/span><\/p>\n Baird\u2019s parents both died before her children were old enough to know them. So when she started compiling the recipes her kids kept requesting, she began weaving in family history that would otherwise be lost.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, my parents both died, so my children didn\u2019t grow up with grandparents, so I\u2019ve been including those recipes and now I\u2019ve been adding stories about them,\u201d Baird <\/span>told TODAY in an interview<\/span><\/a>, published April 9.<\/span><\/p>\n The stories she included are small and specific.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSo they know how my mom made apple pie for my dad. She made cherry pie for my dad for years until he told her he didn\u2019t actually like cherry pie. He liked apple,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n Every recipe in the book has been veganized so Eilish and Finneas can enjoy them. Baird said she felt compelled to put them on paper because her kids would always ask her how to make certain things.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSo I really had to write them down and, you know, go, \u2018OK, if you follow this recipe exactly, I promise you it will taste good. Now, feel free to change it anytime you want,\u2019\u201d she told TODAY.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2020, Baird founded <\/span>Support + Feed<\/span><\/a>, a nonprofit organization that aims to combat climate change and food insecurity by promoting plant-based eating.<\/span><\/p>\n Now she\u2019s expanding her cooking resume with a new series \u2014 with her kids support.<\/span><\/p>\n Baird\u2019s new series will feature recipes for plant-based meals and tips for sustainable living. Eilish and Finneas, both of whom love to cook, will appear as guests on the show.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSome the best days of the year are those where they join me in the kitchen or I join them in theirs,\u201d <\/span>she told People<\/span><\/a> last month.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt makes me so happy when they tell me they made one of the recipes,\u201d she said of the recipe books she has made for them.<\/span><\/p>\n The show is slated to begin production later this year and to premiere on public media in 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n One dish stands out: sesame peanut noodles, inspired by Baird\u2019s time living in New York in the 1980s.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOne of the only takeout things you could get at the time was these cold sesame noodles,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cAnd then we moved to L.A., they didn\u2019t really have those here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMany, many decades ago now, I veganized that, and it\u2019s always been a hit in our family,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n Baird shares some of her recipes on the website for Support + Feed. Her <\/span>spicy noodles recipe<\/span><\/a> is among them.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI always loved it when Billie or Finneas had friends over and I could pull this off quickly!\u201d she writes on the website.<\/span><\/p>\nWhy Maggie Baird Wrote a Family Recipe Book<\/h2>\n
