It's a Valentine's Day celebration with plenty of chocolate on this episode of The Kitchen. The hosts prepare a romantic meal with Geoffrey Zakarian's Dark Chocolate Mousse, a tender filet mignon with mushroom red wine sauce from Katie Lee, and two mouthwatering side dishes from Marcela Valladolid and Jeff Mauro. The Kitchen crew gets crafty with new ideas for valentines made out of chocolate, including adorable chocolate kiss critters and edible chocolate vessels. A master chocolatier joins in on the fun with a silky-smooth dark chocolate truffle recipe and out-of-this-world flavors to spice it up! Geoffrey caps it all off with his take on a chocolate martini.
Love is in the air in The Kitchen with Valentine's Day food, crafts and sweet surprises. Katie Lee makes a trendy Hidden Heart Cake, and then the gang creates food-inspired Valentines for sweethearts of all ages. Jeff Mauro's Snack Mix Brownies and Sunny Anderson's Sour Cream Swirl Brownies use mix-ins to put a new twist on the favorite dessert, and everyone pitches in to create a Box of Chocolates Cake. Geoffrey Zakarian serves Pasta Pomodoro as a dinner for two, and comedian and author Mamrie Hart stops by to join in on the fun with her French Kiss 75 cocktail and a serving idea for nachos.
