Food for Fitness
Bobby shows us some of his favorite healthy recipes that are as easy on the taste-buds as they are on the waistline!
Grilling with Wine
Bobby swings by one of his favorite wine stores, Appellation Wines and Spirits, to pick up a few vintage bottles and some key vino cooking tips. Even a novice wine enthusiast can feel at ease whipping up a flavorful Grilled Fig and Stilton Salad with Port Wine Vinaigrette, or Spicy Mussels with White Wine, and you don’t have to be Robert Parker Jr. to enjoy the juiciness of a Red Wine Marinated, Stuffed Flank Steak, served with a frothy Champagne Granita.
Light and Fresh
When it comes to eating light and fresh, Bobby knows how to make a simple meal blossom with flavor, color and texture. After picking up a few succulent heirloom tomatoes from the Upper East Side’s Eli’s, Bobby heads back to his grill to make a Mint Marinated Grilled Shrimp Tabbouleh, and a Fresh Mozzarella and Stacked Heirloom Tomato salad. Grilled red snapper gets topped with a tart and savory Grapefruit-Thyme Mojo, and Strawberries with Ricotta Cream and Pistachios wrap up this healthy feast. So grab a fork and save room for seconds, because with food this good for you, you’ll know you be coming back for more!
Mediterranean
The taste of the Mediterranean is fresh, healthy dishes with bright flavors. Bobby swings by the Upper East Side’s Malaga Restaurant for a bowl of the Spanish classic Gazpacho. Culling inspiration from this traditional fare, Bobby creates a version all his own. His version of Pork Gyros with Yogurt-Tomato Sauce would satisfy any Mediterranean aficionado. Then Bobby whips up a Toasted Israeli Couscous with Vegetables and Lemon-Balsamic Vinaigrette and pairs it with a fruity Cava Sangria, a culinary duo sure enough to make anyone go mad for Mediterranean.
New England Feast
Grab a picnic basket and your appetite, it's time for a New England Feast, picnic style. Bobby gathers inspiration for his sea-faring feast from New York's very own Mermaid Inn. Back at the grill, he whips up his own Indian-spiced Curry Lobster Rolls; piled-high Steamers in a zesty Red Chile Sauce; golden, thick-cut seasoned fries, and a tangy Caper Codder Slushie to wash it all down. One word: delicious.
Holiday Dishes
Bobby has invited a few close friends to his patio for an intimate Holiday meal before the snow starts to fall. He's preparing a mix of gastronomic gifts to fill their plates like presents
Pacific Northwest
Juicy, plump berries, organic, vibrant vegetables, and farm-raised fish are the staples of the Pacific Northwest, which is quickly becoming one of America’s culinary hotspots. Bobby builds today’s menu around the flavors of the region. Fresh Steamed Mussels with Fennel and Ouzo team up with silky Grilled Salmon with Morel Vinaigrette to create dishes as fresh as the Pacific Ocean. A flavor-packed Heirloom Tomato Salad and a tart Blackberry-White Chocolate Fool bring a respective start and finish to a menu that will have you raising your fork and screaming, "Next Stop Portland!"
Poker With the Boys
Bobby’s going all in with a menu that's sure to beat the house! He and his boys are getting together to deal a couple of hands, share a few drinks and dish out a whole lot of food. Bite-sized and easy to eat are the name of this game! Bobby deals out a succulent Grilled Sea Scallops on Tortilla Chips, juicy Mini Open-Faced Steak Sandwiches and spicy Grilled Prawns for a perfect flush! Plump sweet Grilled Figs and the classic Manhattan make a perfect pair and complete a winning menu.
Tastes of Peru
Bobby’s getting a lesson in everyday Peruvian food. After a crash course in the country’s cuisine at Williamburg’s Chimu, Bobby heads into the kitchen with special guest chef Santos Loo. Santos will teach Bobby some of the hottest Peruvian recipes, like delightful Purple Corn Sangria, crispy Fried Yucca with Huancaina Sauce, tangy Fish Ceviche and smoky "Grilled" Lomo Saltado.
Terrific Tacos
It's time for a taco party! Bobby heads South of the Border to spice up the grill with a plethora of Terrific Tacos. First up is a field trip to the Upper East Side's Taco Taco, where Bobby enjoys a triumvirate of tongue-tingling tacos. Then it's back to the kitchen to fire up the grill and kick off this festive meal. Bobby creates his own taco triple play with succulent Skirt Steak and Roasted Tomato Salsa tacos, zesty Yucatan Chicken tacos and smoky San Diego Style Blue Corn Salmon tacos. And with a refreshing Smokey Floater Cocktail to top it off, this is one bash you don't want to miss.
