December 1 - 7, 2019 WHATS UP! T7 BY MICHELLE ROSE TV Media I f December makes you feel like Cookie Monster from "Sesame Street," you're not alone. With all the bake sales and parties go- ing on this month, the cookie has become the ubiquitous holiday goodie (sorry, fruit- cake), and gingerbread still reigns supreme. That's why it's no surprise to see "Holiday Gingerbread Showdown" return to the Food Network lineup this month. The 2019 edition kicks off Sun- day, Dec. 1. The four-part competition puts some of the country's top gingerbread artists to the test, and they've got bigger worries than gumdrop buttons and candy cane forests. In each ep- isode, three contestants race against the clock to complete edible showpieces and con- struction projects that will put any single-story gingerbread house to shame. Last year's inaugural edition was hosted by Marcela Vallad- olid and featured Molly Yeh, Adam Young and Kerry Vin- cent as judges. This year, Paige Davis is the host and perhaps her effervescent personality influenced some of this year's themes, which include "worst Christmas ever" and one of my holiday movie picks, "Gremlins" (the 1984 film cel- ebrates its 35th anniversary this year). Adam Young returns for an- other season, though Mary Berg and Maneet Chauhan will join him this time. To- gether, they'll determine a weekly winner before crown- ing the ultimate winner of the $25,000 grand prize during the Dec. 22 finale. From a North Pole work- shop to a canine Christmas scene, the show's elaborate creations are a far cry from the hard, shaped confections served at medieval fairs. Ginger originated in Asia and it may have been intro- duced to Europe around the time of the Crusades. Accord- ing to food writer Tori Avey of PBS Food's "The History Kitchen" blog, that's when many of our modern-day gin- ger-flavored baking traditions took root (pardon the pun).
