Cooking from scratch

What a delightfully and yummy inspiration to open the frig and make a meal with what you have in there. This style of cooking is creativity at its finest because you can express your creative flair AND provide real food for those you love. You will be glad you tuned in. I know I was! Can’t wait for next season!!!!

Rao’s sauce

The host mispronounced the name of this sauce. This is a very famous New York restaurant that produces this sauce. The host should do her homework. Rao’s would not consider sponsoring someone who doesn’t know the background and correct pronunciation of the product.

Yum!!!

Great recipes, tips and conversation!! I recommend listening but be ready for wanting to get into the kirtchen and get to creating.
