The Barefoot Contessa knows how to make autumn all the sweeter as she has been publishing a book every other year at about this time (her most recent was in 2016 – Cooking for Jeffrey, see her entire collection of cookbooks here).
And with each cookbook a new Food Network series usually is paired, but her 14th season Cook Like a Pro aired last February/March, so I wasn’t certain if she would return this fall when her new cookbook of the same name was released (Cook Like a Pro – will be released this coming Tuesday – Oct. 23rd). But then I discovered the good news I was looking for!
Today, Sunday, October 21st, the Barefoot Contessa kicks off her 15th season with a six-part series, Cook Like a Pro. Beginning at 12:30 (eastern), the series will cover mixing high and low fare (today’s episode), ideas for amplifying our beef dinners, give us new inspiration for Thanksgiving and, the episode I cannot wait to watch, the importance of cooking with good ingredients.
To celebrate, I wanted to share with you a weekend sale at Sur la Table offering 25% off one item of your choice – perhaps a go-to tool you might just be looking for to cook like a pro in your very own kitchen.
