‘Delicious TV’ team planning vegan show

The producer and star of the PBS cooking show “Delicious TV,” which is filmed and produced in Maine, are working to raise money to launch a vegan cooking show.

Titled “Vegan Mash-up,” the show would feature three chefs: Toni Fiore, of Cumberland, who stars in “Delicious TV”; bestselling cookbook author Terry Hope Romero; and vegan cookbook author Miyoko Schinner.

Plans call for the show to be filmed in Maine, New York and California.
