When he returned to New York in 1945, Beard became totally immersed in the culinary community. Between 1945 and 1955 he published Fowl and Game Cookery, The Fireside Cookbook, Paris Cuisine, James Beard's Fish Cookery, How to Eat Better for Less Money (with Sam Aaron of the Sherry-Lehmann wine store), The Complete Book of Outdoor Cookery (with Helen Evans Brown), and The Casserole Cookbook. He appeared in his own segment on television's first cooking show on NBC in 1946, and then on many other spots on television and radio.
