TV Show - Monterey's Cookin' Pisto Style
Chef Pisto's internationally syndicated television show Monterey's Cookin' Pisto Style is hosted by chef and restaurateur, John Pisto. Chef Pisto's unique style of cooking brings simplicity to recipes thought difficult to prepare, always with a touch of humor and informality. Chef Pisto is known for his unique California-Mediterranean Cuisine, yet his show takes on an international flavor. Often, the Chef will take viewers on adventures to culinary points of interest around the world, then return to his Monterey, California kitchen to prepare a recipe related to the excursion. Segments of the show have been filmed in China, Tunisia, Italy, France, Thailand, Portugal, and Spain, as well as dozens of US locales. When in the studio kitchen, Chef Pisto invites guests to appear on the show.
