Ina Garten is finding new ways to turn the volume up on American classics. She starts by combining coffee chipotle chili powder and red pepper flakes for a spicy dry rub on Grilled New York Strip Steaks, and she cools things off with a Crunchy Iceberg Salad with Creamy Blue Cheese. Ina uses buttermilk for foolproof Fried Chicken and takes a clever shortcut with Peanut Butter and Fudge Ice Cream Sandwiches. For cocktail hour, she mixes up Dark Rum Southsides, and Chef Bobby Flay shows how to make a very grown-up Vanilla Caramel Bourbon Milkshake.
The Kitchen is sharing delicious recipes for a saucy Valentine's Day meal. Jeff Mauro sears up steaks to pair with Sunny Anderson's Easy Red Wine Peppercorn Sauce and Geoffrey Zakarian's Bearnaise Sauce. Geoffrey makes his Roasted Potatoes with Warm Blue Cheese Sauce as the perfect side dish, and Jeff shares a saucy dessert with his Butterscotch Sauce Sundae. Sunny, Jeff and Geoffrey work together on Katie Lee's Spicy Lobster Pasta and then make a romantic Melting Heart Cake. Geoffrey also shakes up a Chocolate Blood Orange Martini, and the hosts play a match game with cheese and chocolate pairings.
Sandra heads to the race track, to grill a perfect meal, fast! First up, she’s taking it to the grill, for mouth-watering Black Pepper-Crusted Mini- Burgers with Mustard Sauce that’s served as an appetizer. Then she's turning this tailgate into a fancy spread with her Carpetbagger Steaks, made with savory red wine, mushrooms and blue cheese. On the side, a great finger food for the grill, Bacon-Wrapped Cheese Corn. For dessert, it’s a Racin' Raspberry Shortcake that looks decadent, but is simple enough to make outside. Then, it’s cocktail time!
