Or salmon, seasoned with salt and pepper, over red potatoes seasoned with salt and pepper?
I was watching some that weren't as bland. Quite liked them - and got very hungry. Now, whether I'll be able to cook them is another thing. Content will also change. One of the things I liked about it is besides the fancy dishes, there are some that are geared towards people who aren't gourmet cooks. With a gazillion cooking shows/episodes & 80,000 recipes there will be something for everyone. It's a year long subscription - and it's free. Given that, I'm not going to complain too much.
I'm also looking forward to this weekend: "
Food Network Kitchen and Amazon are launching a weekend initiative May 2-3 called We Cook Together “to help those seeking inspiration and assistance in the kitchen.” It’s bringing back live classes for two days from the home kitchens of Valerie Bertinelli, Scott Conant, Bobby Flay, Tyler Florence, Amanda Freitag, Alex Guarnaschelli, Marc Murphy, Michael Symon and Jet Tila – each class with a live Q&A."
However, before then my AcornTV trial will end so next couple of days will focus on AcornTV & finishing some of the TV series I was watching.
Cheers.
