The Kitchen is getting a full day of meals on the table with easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert! Geoffrey Zakarian kicks things off with his daughters as his sous chefs, making simple Huevos Rancheros. Then Katie Lee and Jeff Mauro pair up for a sandwich-and-soup combo: Katie's Grilled Cheese with Chipotle Mayo and Bacon and Jeff's Sheet Pan Roasted Tomato Soup. Dinner is covered with Sunny Anderson's 1-2-3 Rub with Grilled Chicken and Alex Guarnaschelli's Cucumber Salad. Finally, the hosts all get together for a virtual happy hour complete with a pantry sweet and a shout-out to some very special people.
Guy Fieri invites his friends to explore the oft-overlooked offal. Nyesha Arrington goes to the heart of the matter with her Meatballs de Corazon and lightens things up with a Celery Root and Sweetbread Salad. Aaron May makes a Dark and Stormy with Candied Chicken Hearts and Lamb Kidney Tortillas with Oregano Aioli. Jet Tila offers up some Offal Fried Rice and fires up the grill for Chicken Heart Yakitori. Chris Cosentino gets gardening with Thyme Roasted Carrots and Rabbit Bits before stunning his chef friends with a Chocolate Blood Cremeux served with his own Chichachurros.
The classic soup and sandwich partners will be completely transformed by professional Chef Alex Guarneschelli. Alex adds braised beef marrow, drops of egg yolk, and tiny veal meatballs into a delicious chicken broth. And for the perfect dunking partner, Alex tops crunchy toasts with olive oil and tangy goat cheese spread. For dessert, Alex melts white chocolate and stuffs it between two chocolate drop cookies.
It's a great fake out, when all the basket ingredients are in disguise. Everyone should taste the "chicken wings" in the first basket, which are a secretly sweet item. The "cake" in the second round and "tomato soup" in the dessert basket also require a close inspection. The duplicitous ingredients lead to trouble for all and even more potential for trickery lurks in the pantry.
A hearty home-cooked meal after work, chicken soup when you’re a little sick, even a pint of ice cream when Mr. Right turns out to be Mr. Wrong? these foods soothe the soul as well as the stomach. So grab your favorite blanket as Jim O’Connor explores the what, when, why’s and how’s of? comfort food
Ree Drummond's stocking up the freezer with breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. To start the day, there are outrageous Crunchy French Toast Sticks, a Drummond kid favorite. Next, she makes Tex Mex Butternut Squash Soup for ranch ladies that lunch. For dinner, it's casserole royalty, King Ranch Chicken -- a make-ahead marvel. Then, quick and easy Confetti Cups are the fourth and final frozen gem.
Ree Drummond is cooking in the comfort zone as she shares easy, feel-good recipes. First, she serves up Broccoli Chicken and Cheese Soup in a crusty bread bowl before using a shortcut to bake an outrageously cheesy Creamy Sage Baked Ravioli. Then, Ree makes a marvelous meatless Cauliflower Parm and puts comfort in a cup with her luxurious Hazelnut Hot Chocolate cooked in the slow cooker.
Jeff's in culinary heaven today, when he brings together Italian food and sandwiches. After a lesson at Chicago's Ricobene's, Jeff makes The Comiskey, a breaded steak sandwich with a roasted red pepper sauce. He cooks up another Italian favorite in the Grilled Artichoke Sub, with fresh ricotta and a roasted garlic spread. The best side to these sandwiches is Jeff's Chicken Lemon Orzo Soup.
