Marcela's favorite sous chef is her son, Fausto, and in this show she demonstrates some of her favorite kid-friendly recipes. She starts with a Morning Mexican Frittata made with eggs and plenty of cheese. Then Sweet & Easy Pineapple Empanadas, which are as fun to make as they are to eat. Crispy Turkey Mini Tacos are kid-sized and full of healthy ingredients. And Marcela's delicious sauté of zucchini and corn served in scooped-out zucchini "ships" are a fun way for kids to get their veggies.
Asian cuisine is responsible for some of the world's most popular soup dishes, and nothing is more comforting than a hearty noodle soup. Chef Jet Tila cooks up two dishes that are near and dear to his heart and represent family recipes. He begins with a Quick Beef Pho, where he takes shortcuts to make a flavorful broth in a short amount of time. Next up, Jet poaches thinly sliced pork belly and marinated eggs for this bowl of Japanese Spicy Miso Ramen layered with rich and savory flavors.
Jeff Mauro has lovingly compiled his go-to brunch favorites. He revisits the other hosts' recipes and creates a Corned Beef Hash Brown Muffuletta that's to die for! Katie Lee Biegel fires up a Smoked Salmon Breakfast Pizza, and Sunny Anderson gets decadent with her Crazy Rich Chicken and Waffles. Guest chef Patrick Connolly impresses with Banana Bread French Toast with Peanut Butter Mousse topping. Jeff dishes up his Corned Beef Hash Benedict with gooey, cheesy Mornay sauce, and Geoffrey Zakarian's Lucky Green Baked Eggs are a huge hit.
The Kitchen is rewriting the rule book for a spring feast with fun, new recipes.
