Big Daddy brings a touch of class to the kitchen today with his 'Easy Elegance' menu. First, he's making a delicious appetizer, Gnocchi with Peas & Bacon. Then, for the main course he's pulling out all the stops with a tangy Seared Black Bass complemented by a Warm Mushroom Salad. Finally, he finishes with a dessert that screams, 'Easy Elegance,' a rich Chocolate Ricotta Tiramisu!
Guy Fieri whips up Heirloom Tomato Tacos, piled into crisp romaine leaves, and topped with crumbled gorgonzola, peppery microgreens, and homemade Crostini Croutons. For Guy's Carbonara Classica, he tosses bucatini pasta in a silky egg and parmesan sauce with peas, pancetta, and black pepper. And for dessert, Orange and Olive Oil Cake is tender and insanely moist with a zesty orange glaze soaking down through every bite.
