Happy New Year and Good Eats!

Y’all must watch my new show during your lunch hour. The food—and the chefs—look that good! But I digress… Here are the facts:

ABC News Now and the James Beard Organization have selected me to interview—and cook with!—the country’s best chefs. Together, we whip up four-star meals at the legendary W.12th St Beard brownstone then I get back to basics in my studio apartment, adapting the chef’s recipes for the home cook. It’s a culinary game of “High/Low” that shows anyone can turn out a Sunday night supper.

My first chefs: Italian phenoms Amanda Freitag, executive chef of Gusto Ristorante in the West Village and Marco Canora, executive chef and co-owner of Hearth and Insieme restaurants. We do fish, we do lasagna–we do it all!
