  The Frugal Gourmet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Frugal Gourmet was a cooking show that aired on PBS from 1988 to 1997.
Known affectionately as "The Frug", he asserted that "frugal" gourmet cooking does not mean "cheap", but choosing your ingredients and using your resources efficiently.
He graduated from the University of Puget Sound in 1962 and from Drew University in New Jersey in 1965.

 TV ACRES: Cooks & Cookbooks - Jeff Smith (The Frugal Gourmet)
Jeff Smith, a balding ordained Methodist minister with a toothy grin and a fluffy white goatee was as comfortable behind the kitchen table chopping garlic, onion and preparing appetizing meals as he was behind a pulpit.
Formal training was not a necessity to be a Frugal Gourmet; and he emphasized that "Frugal doesn't mean cheap, it means that you use everything and are careful with your time as well as your food products.
The term Frugal Gourmet refers to a lover of food and wine who doesn't like to waste anything." Using recipes scribbled on yellow note paper for inspiration, Jeff Smith worked his wonders in his TV kitchen.

 The Seattle Times: Living: Jeff Smith, 1939 - 2004: "Frugal Gourmet" was popular on PBS
Jeff Smith, the once-celebrated "Frugal Gourmet" TV chef who fell from grace, was a hard man to peg.
"I don't think people knew how generous and supportive he was." He took her on a trip to Chicago — where his "Frugal Gourmet" show was first filmed for a national audience — giving her a chance to work with him and appear on the show.
Eventually, his show was seen by millions, and he wrote a string of popular "Frugal Gourmet" cookbooks to go with it.

 The Frugal Gourmet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Up front and first of all, I think The Frugal Gourmet jumped the shark in it's final season, but more because of the changes in the show than the controversy surrounding the man. With the addition of Craig Wollam as an almost-constant presence in Smith's kitchen came a format change that ruined the show.
In my mind, these ingredients became widely available as a result of the Frugal Gourmet's exposing the American public to them...and members of the public requesting that the ingredients be available at their local supermarket.
First, "frugal" doesn't mean "cheap", it means best-use, without waste, etc. For instance, he advocated buying the "best" equipment NOT because it was expensive or infinitely better, but IF it was longer-lasting than counterparts, it was wiser to buy great stuff ONE TIME, rather than the same thing every couple years.

Lillian Langseth-Christensen found a home in Gourmet for her Viennese memoirs and recipes; Robert P. Tristram Coffin wrote wonderfully about Maine; and such legendary stylists as M.F.K. Fisher and Elizabeth David were contributors.
