The segment, shot in June at Gooding's home on Mount Desert Island, shows
her preparing recipes from her popular cookbook "Black Fly Stew: Wild Maine

self-trained chef, Gooding released "Black Fly Stew: Wild Maine Recipes" in
September 2007 to critical acclaim. Her appearance on the Travel Channel is
her third televised feature in a year that has included book signings,
cooking demonstrations and a rapid expansion of outlets carrying her
cookbook.
