Two McGill students are challenging their cohorts’ culinary mores with their own home-cooking channel. The Hot Plate, which airs on the closed-circuit campus network TVMcGill, tries to bring easy-to-make gastronomy to the university’s pizza-chomping masses and some minor foodie cred to its hosts, Amanda Garbutt and April Engelberg. Cash-strapped undergrads, too busy to caramelize their onions, can tune in on TV or on-line for peppy instruction and a savoury pinch of shame.
