eyes y'all are very lucky today we could have been talking about home gadgetry how to protect your home from strangers but know you're lucky enough to get Paul Newman Paul Newman just the name is enough to make hearts start to race sexy brooding a little bit dangerous the shopkeepers son from Cleveland is a Hollywood legend big-time it's hard to believe but his illustrious career spans nearly half a century it was his role in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof opposite Elizabeth Taylor that catapulted him into the movie solar system it earned him the first of six Oscar nominations after a series of stellar films he teamed up with another heart drop to make one of the most successful westerns of all time Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid the Newman Redford magic struck gold again in the sting a comic caper that scored big at the box office and won seven Academy Awards let me give you a real horse's ass it took a while but Hollywood finally got it right and honored Newman with an Oscar for his performance in the color of money where he starred opposite Tom Cruise [Music] Paul Newman also stars in one of Hollywood's longest-running marriages two award-winning actress Joanne Woodward it's been 40 years in counting he calls her the love of his life his other passion is giving away money lots of money you know those salad dressings and spaghetti sauces in that popcorn with his face on them they've earned over 90 million dollars and every penny of the profit has gone to charity every cent his favorite is camps for Sick Children a brilliant actor a celebrated husband a philanthropist extraordinaire and now the author of two new cookbooks Paul Newman is the man of the hour [Applause] these wonderful new cookbooks as we said all the profits every single dime that doesn't go to Uncle Sam goes to charity and he's going to go to actually cook up some of his favorite recipes with us today imagine we're cooking with Paul Newman [Applause] [Music] Oh [Applause] okay thank you we're gonna make one of Paul's favorite appetizers but first let's talk about for just a brief moment how this cooking thing this whole food Newman's Own how did this get started it got started as a joke and it just got out of control out of control in every supermarket now well the terrible thing is is that grossing my film but it got started cuz you and Hutch your friend hutch were one night before Christmas are it like in the early eighties singing Christmas carols and I got some empty wine bottles and I filled it up with my salad dressing and I took it to the neighbors Wow but anyway we gave them out and and about the 15th of January all these people came back and started beating on the doors and saying where's my refill really so you all made salad dressing in a tub I heard yes in downstairs in the basement and then we found out that the federal Food and Drug Administration would not like this because we had horses down there uh-huh good horses in the basement horses in the basement with the utensils oh my goodness okay so the idea to give all the money away where did that come from well I wish I could say I had a very high motives and all that stuff but I wouldn't think I said listen if you're gonna sell this stuff you're gonna have to put your face on the on the label and I thought that's really tacky so but just as I said well if we're gonna do that it's gonna be what I calls circular exploitation and that I better give the money my money away yes and now it's been like ninety million dollars if I didn't known in advance [Music] first thing we're gonna make today from Paul's new cookbook which every time goes to charity Newman's Own it's called is a festive hors d'oeuvre that you can serve at your holiday parties I know so many of you are having them cheese puffs with the salt the cream filling do we get to pull this off the cards cuz I don't know what I'm doing I'm just following your direction okay if this explodes it's not my fault so normally you don't make the food other people make it and then you sample it is that how it works yeah pretty much yeah except for the salad dressing which was your original and most of this period spaghetti sauce is my religion alone and eliminate is Joanne it eliminated show in it yes and Fig Newman's and Fig Newman's love those okay now the cheese pasta with the salted cream filling we know a lot of celebrities offered their own recipes for this book is this your own cheese puffs with the salt the cream filling I think this one came from my aunt okay here we go in a saucepan you combine 1 cup of water with 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter okay one geeze through a salt pepper and nutmeg to taste now I suppose this has all been put in here yeah when it boils you remove it from the heat and beat in a 1 cup flour beat in 1 cup of flour which I suppose that's what that is ok all at once with a wooden spoon ok that would be bad then know that that's that right ok so would you pour that in here we're supposed to do this I don't [Applause] [Music] okay good and you do that until what happens now well go to your nearest gas station you do that stir hard until it forms a ball it doesn't seem to be doing that yeah do you know what it's supposed to look like when it's done I haven't the slightest idea no it's are we supposed to do something with that yes that's that's the fun part okay you take this and you pour it into there but they've already done that okay Oh they've done it yes good so you now take this thing and it's my understanding that you squeeze dad one inch around this way and one inch high that two inches apart now you do that like that oh good so far that's real good you're doing really well and brush the tops of the pastry with egg and sprinkle with cheese and this is for Newt Gingrich and that's for Kenneth Starr [Applause] that's for dick armey what else you doing there and that's for my dog Harry okay now wait a minute I should have familiarized myself with this a little better brush the tops of the pastry with egg and sprinkle cheese which egg would that be that would be this egg oh yes okay very good wouldn't it be okay that should be kind of mixed like that right then bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden turn over Oh turn oven off down okay [Applause] these boy that looks delicious hey we have some cheese puffs for the audience to try - wait [Applause] this is a good job we did yes I got we're cooking the Paul Newman next a special recipe from Melanie Griffith [Applause] Oh all day oh look all day and all night okay now where we going to say about the salsa pub well we forgot they had the salsa to the cheese puffs the Newman's own salsa it says draining 11 ounce jars Newman's Own sauce or your own favorite some inferior rotten other would this be your own recipe because that's what I believe when I'm in the store almost but did the the San Francisco Chronicle did a taste test of all the salsas yes the Western the southwestern all of them and this Yankee salsa was number one really Yankee now we've asked our to my personal chef to come in goodness come in help us Paul's going to show us another recipe from his new cookbook remember again all the prophets all the prophets from Newman's Own products every Salta every popcorn every salad dressing goes to charity did you all know that there's actually two cookbooks one for kids so if you want to get your kids in the kitchen with you and start them early and teach them how to cook there's a special something that didn't happen with me but let's continue so now we're gonna make this dish is called chicken Cassidy kabobs and the Sundance orzo pilaf okay you pour that in there ginger ginger root throw that in there and this is paprika okay teaspoons of power okay 3/4 teaspoons or less of cayenne pepper or marinade over chicken two pounds of skinless boneless breasts cut into 2-inch pieces which I assume you have done already thank you cover and refrigerate for at least five hours there were 46 little elves and fairies in the actual refrigerator and you stir occasionally stir occasionally know it take out already marinated chicken from France which we did we move chicken for marinade and thread on 12 soaked wooden skewers I made a mistake this is for Newt Gingrich Oh this is for Kenneth Starr have you been watching those hearings at all no no I don't I don't Oh waste of time waste of time I agree with you or soaked in water won't burn that's why you do it ah that's why you do that actually skew the chicken cubes want a napkin here why pun me that's okay it's good actually skew the chicken cubes preheat the grill where might the grill be we we'd have the grill already okay thank you when ready to serve grill or broiled skewers for about five or six minutes per side is that correct yes okay we've we've already pre grilled the chicken and then what we want to do now is Winfrey is that has this wonderful one okay mr. Smith let's do that okay really delicious orzo pilaf no screaming has created okay you place three cups of freshly cooked orzo in a large bowl I don't know what orzo is it looks sort of like rice in another bowl whisk together one cup of Newman's Own olive oil and vinegar dressing which that would be that right there which we've already done okay now you get 3/4 cup of orange juice concentrate all righty right there a half a cup of minced mint two tablespoons or less of red chili oil okay that would be that actually goal okay one teaspoon of minced ginger root this is gonna be good this is that right here okay pour the dressing over orzo and mix well right this is really I can tell don't tell okay once it's mixed add one cup of minced red onion and the rest of all the stuff I reckon true goat goat cheese garance almonds of this get to be good sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil and chopped one large diced green bell pepper right and a half a cup of chopped apricots get out yes good good now toss gently over Oh and cover and keep it room temperature while the kebabs cooked oh boy we're busy got kebabs cooking good we're tossing gently and garnish with a thin orange slice and mint sprigs no to go to kebab and orzo display [Laughter] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I can tell this is gonna be special whoa next Paul's daughter Nell is here to show us how to make her dad's favorite dessert we're also gonna go to New York and visit the gourmet kitchen of Tony Randall and his wife Heather they've got a favorite recipe to share with us and did you know Tony Felix Ungar Randall is a new daddy at age 78 me and his new baby son Jefferson when we come back you gotta be we're back in the kitchen with Paul Newman in one of Newman's Own top-selling products as Paul's favorite snack popcorn and uh he's got a fun recipe that your family will love it's called Paul's Picture Show popcorn crunch you know speaking of popcorn yes popcorns our movies and I don't know how many of you have seen this lady's performance in beloved and the thing that really makes me angry is that I went to school for about 40 years and still couldn't do what you did with the popcorn right yes this is popcorn this is microwave popcorn you can also try it with dry popcorn uh-huh dry popcorn where's that dry pop in the skillet yeah I'm peculiar I think that this popcorn pops too big and it's like powder puffs what I do is I take a bottle of this I pour it in a pan and put it in an oven for an hour at 220 degrees to get some of the water out of it and so it pops smaller but there's only that much flavor in a kernel of popcorn and the more you compress the flavor the better tasting it is the more it pulls all the teeth out of your head which is important mmm right except you got a letter from a lady that said that this is the only popcorn that doesn't make it then doesn't get stuck in her dentures I don't have that to worry about yet okay how do we do this preheated oven to 300 degrees you start with a large heat mixing bowl and a baking pan with nonstick spray omar's or margarine in another baking thing you've got a cup of almonds yes Baba a cup of 12 mixed nuts yeah mixed nuts the calves or pecan halves he can have some cashes waters he taught it for 20 minutes okay so you toast this on here for 20 minutes gotcha done done hey man okie dokie is it really hot no I'm busy [Laughter] what an actor [Applause] we're conditioned to play the heat right okay all right then you oh we have the gooey part here this is this is butter melted margarine a cup of of sugar uh-huh but water cup of light corn syrup let's see but that's it okay that's it a quarter cup of water it's that oh you have to mix us very well yes and stir offer you can end up with a brick right you have to remove from the heat to add one tablespoon vanilla extract because that will spatter well okay now pour the hot syrup over the popcorn and nut mixture and mix until coated or the hot syrup over the popcorn and nut mixture or the hot do we want to go through this this step but should we put those nuts in there towels okay these should be going pour the hot syrup over oh that's what that should be like that okay over there see that's what it's like there it's wonderful then you pour the hot syrup excellent or the popcorn onto the baking sheet excellent [Music] [Applause] you pour this onto the baking sheet like that and then like this alright yes and then you let it cool for about an hour and this makes about 13 cups waiters come on out with them uh Paul Newman [Applause] exactly the recipe from Seinfeld Jerry Stiller [Music] [Applause] all the profits from Newman's own food products and his new cookbooks go to over 1,000 charities including the six hole in the wall gang camps that Paul founded back in 1987 for children who have life-threatening diseases I had something to do with with with some of these camps we have lots of volunteers hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of volunteers and and people who make the camps financially stable and feasible and make them work so that's not I know it's not just you but it is your picture on the salad dressing that's true an early picture well today's remembering your spirit we wanted to take you to one of the hole-in-the-wall camps to hear how the place makes Paul and the children feel the power that this camp has effect on us as well as the kids and people around us she's beautiful when I first came I had no hair because I was undergoing chemotherapy and it didn't matter and it was the only place I felt comfortable is always support everywhere you go I don't have very many friends I didn't have friends that understood what I it felt like to be sick all the time it was depressing because I was a lonely kid before camp game I'm out whenever I'm in the dumps I come up here and it reaffirms everything that I think is really good and generous about this country it's just like a major escape is what it is it's like just a certain amount of days that you can live your life the way you want to to have some kid come up who's been in the hospital for six months out of the year and say this place this to come back here is what I live for on stage night you'll usually come to the camp and you just see in the back he's smiling and I think that's his biggest reward not like public recognition we're just seeing that the kids are happy it's a little word you may have heard a little sweeter than as a hummingbird so bring up into the clouds it though [Music] my name is [Music] things of leak you can't speak don't you friends that song is called Paul Newman's pants and again when you buy any of the sauces any of the popcorn any of the Newman's own products including the cookbook that we've been cooking from today that's where your money goes so I want to thank all of our celebrity chef today and thank you our two for helping us out because for that brief moment when we seemed to be a bit confused up here thank you Paul Newman's cookbooks are in the stores now Newman's Own cookbook is full of recipes near and dear to Paul Newman's heart inside you'll find dishes from Newman's family and famous friends some of whom we saw today including Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Julia Roberts and many more and the hole-in-the-wall gang code book is filled with kid-friendly recipes for families to make together and the book is dedicated to the 7,000 children who attend the hole in wall camp's every year with the money that Paul takes from all of the Newman's Own products what you are an
