COMING UP ON RIVER CITY LIVE,
VALENTINE'S DAY IS ONE OF THE
MOST FAMILIAR --.
SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST
FAMILIAR FACE ONS THE FOOD
NETWORK. SHE HAS WRITTEN AN
AMAZING BOOK TO HELP ALL OF US
MAKE TASTY MEALS. AND VERY
NUTRITIOUS. I CAN'T EVEN
REMEMBER THEY'RE NUTRITIOUS
BECAUSE THEY'RE SO DELICIOUS.
HI. SO GOOD TO TALK WITH
YOU. YEAH. THEY'RE ALL MAKE
AHEAD MEALS. 140 OF THEM. AND
AS YOU SAY IT'S THE PERFECT
COMBINATION OF DELICIOUS. THE
FOOD HAS TO BE DELICIOUS. AND
ALSO HEALTHY. SO I HAD A COUPLE
OF DISHES SPECIFICALLY TO SHARE
WITH YOU. AND THIS ONE I'M
MAKING NOW IS THE SAVORY LAMB
AND CHICK PEA STEW. BROWN SOME
MEAT HERE. IT'S LEAN.
BEAUTIFULLY TRIMMED AND
AFFORDABLE. AND -- IT'S
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. FULL OF
FLAVOR. BROWN IT. COOK IT LIKE
ANY OTHER MEAT. GREAT FLAVOR.
I PUT THAT IN WITH SAUTEED
ONIONS AND GARLIC AND THEN ADD
CHICK PEAS. AROMATIC SPICES
LIKE CUMIN, CORIANDER AND
TOMATOES. I LET THAT SIMMER ALL
TOGETHER. AND AT THE END I PUT
IN A LITTLE BIT OF SPINACH. AND
LOOK. IT LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL
WHEN IT'S FINISHED.
GORGEOUS.
JUST SUMPTIOUS AND LOVELY.
TASTY, DELICIOUS. AND I
MENTIONED NUTRITIOUS BECAUSE
THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TOO. YOU
HAVE THE NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION
ON EVERY RECIPE IN THIS BOOK.
AND ALWAYS GIVE YOU THE
NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION AND IN
THIS BOOK ALSO SPECIFIC
INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXACTLY HOW TO
STORE IT AND EXACTLY HOW TO
REHEAT IT. I THINK A LOT OF
MAKE AHEAD BOOKS LEAVE YOU
HANGING IN THAT DEPARTMENT AND I
REALLY GIVE YOU WHAT YOU
NEED -- GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED
TO KNOW ON THE PLATE. AND I
LIKE TO FREEZE IT IN BAGS LIKE
THIS. AND SLATS SO WHEN THEY'RE
FROZEN YOU CAN STACK THEM LIKEIC
BOOS AND IT ACHE -- LIKE BOOKS
AND IT MAKES THE MOST OF YOUR
SPACE.
ANOTHER GREAT DRAW IS THAT
MOST OF THESE CAN COME STRAIGHT
FROM THE FREEZER AND BE HEATED
UP.
EXACTLY. MOST OF THEM CAN.
I LOVE THAT ABOUT IT. MAKES IT
REALLY -- SOMETIMES YOU JUST
DON'T THINK AHEAD. MORE OFTEN
THAN NOT. SO I LIKE HAVING THAT
OPTION. AND THEN THESE POTATO
CAKES, SAME THING. SO I LOVE
POITATOROES. THEY'RE SO COMFORT
FOODY AND EVERYONE LOVES THEM
AND THEY'RE REALLY HEALTHY.
LOADED WITH VITAMIN C.
POTASSIUM AND FIBER AND A NEW
STUDY SHOWS THAT CHILDREN, MOST
DO NOT GET ENOUGH POTASSIUM OR
FIBER AND POTATOES ARE A GREAT
WAY TO WORK THAT IN. KIDS LOVE
THEM. EVERYONE LOVES THEM. AND
BASICALLY I LIKE TO COOK WITH
THE STEMS ON. AND STEAM THEM.
AND PUT THEM IN THE STEAMER WITH
COD. THERE'S ANOTHER THING,
MOST OF US DON'T GET ENOUGH FISH
IN OUR HIVES. SO
STEAM -- LIVES. STEAM IT WITH
THE COD. MASH IT WITH MUSTARD
AND CAPERS AND BROWN THEM. THIS
IS HOW THEY LOOK WHEN THEY'RE
DONE. I CAN PUT THEM IN THE
FREEZER LIKE THIS. AND PULL OIT
AS MANY AS YOU NEED. MAYBE MY
DAUGHTER IS RUNNING OFF TO
VOLLEYBALL, MAYBE MAKE ONE AS A
SNACK. OR, YOU KNOW, MAKE A
BUNCH. YOU CAN HAVE COMPANY AND
HAVE SIX OR SEVEN OR EIGHT
PORTIONS. ALL IN THE FREEZER AT
YOUR FINGERTIPS WHEN YOU NEED
IT.
IT'S AN AMAZING BOOK.
EVERYTHING YOU SHOWED US HAS OUR
MOUTHS WATERING. SO YOU HAVE

WE HAVE TO GIVE AWAY. E-MAIL US
