June 14, 2008 - PRLog -- PYE’s Pantry, A Zany, Colorful Cooking Show For Kids

PYE’s Pantry is new and fun-filled edu-tainment for kids. PYE Panda, Bear-er of Peace and the Pantry Pals follow the magic as they explore new doorways to the world of imagination through food, special celebrity guest appearances, music, globetrotting, and a host of surprises in the Pantry that circles the globe. Preview PYE’s Pantry at http://www.box.net/shared/static/jy2xrtbc4c.wmv.

Our globetrotting star of PYE’s Pantry is the official Ambassador of Peace to the World's Children for the international nonprofit organization, TIMOTCA (The International Museum of Twenty-first Century Arts). TIMOTCA was founded in 1980 to foster peace and cultural understanding through the universal language of art and to establish the world’s first global cultural center presenting the visual and performing arts of every country of the world.  TIMOTCA officers and co-founders have visited sixty-five countries to invite their participation – all have accepted.  TIMOTCA has presented art exhibitions representing these countries at United Nations Headquarters, New York and UNESCO Headquarter, Paris. For more  information about TIMOTCA visit www.timotca.org

Exploring cultural diversity through cooking, each Pantry episode features lively cooking segments with recipes from different countries and flavors from around the world, while exposing kids to nutritious eating habits and easy to follow recipes that are creative, simple, safe and fun.  Aunty Colleen and her young assistant Alexandra prepare meals for birthday parties, holiday celebrations and just plain hanging out with family and friends.  With an up-beat tempo that has kids wanting more, PYE leads the Pantry Pals in the cooking adventure of the day as they visit ethnic food markets, Tortilleria, bakeries and farms, to name a few Pantry locals.

PYE’s theme song, “We Can Make it Better,” sung by the late Warren Weibe with music and lyrics by noted composer, Daniel May, ends each episode on a lively note.  Warren’s amazing voice was introduced to the world by composer/producer; David Foster and Warren had the good fortune to sing with many musical greats, including Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Natalie Cole and Mel Torme.

The first 3 episodes  “A Picnic in the USA, Fiesta Mexicana and Pizza Italiano” are fun filled and energetic with the PYE, Aunty Colleen, Alexandra, Pantry Pals, Pesto, Mr. Headly and Eartha!  

PYE is everything we would want for our children – he is courageous, fun loving and adventurous... and he's here to entertain a new generation of kids, helping to take them into the world of the 21st Century and beyond. And with the help of those who insist on more for our children, PYE will be a major positive force and an idea whose time has come.  

PYE and PYE Programs have been warmly accepted and endorsed by people in every walk of life – from Presidents Bush and Clinton to children, parents, educators and governments. The Governors and Mayors of many states and cities, including California, Indiana, Nevada, Utah and Maryland, have presented proclamations to PYE. PYE was Mascot for UNICEF and Earth Day and has been welcomed at schools and children’s hospitals across the country, including the National Institutes of Health.
