Though Ina Garten teased her new cooking show [2] back in March, the Barefoot Contessa has officially announced more details today. Cook Like A Pro [3] will air eight new episodes on the Food Network, starting this Sunday, May 28 at 11 a.m. ET / PT. Along with the date, she shared the complete list of recipes, all intended for a millennial audience, and the very special guests to appear on the show this season, including José Andrés [4], Mario Batali [5], April Bloomfield [6], and Yotam Ottolenghi [7]. We trust Ina with our lives when it comes to cooking chicken [8], busting out an easy recipe [9], or attempting a challenging dessert [10], so here are eight more reasons you'll want to tune in to the new season.
- She's sharing more chicken secrets. On the first episode of the season, it's all about chicken. Along with making her famous Roasted Chicken with Radishes [11], she's getting into "professional strategies" for becoming a master of poultry cookery. Game. On.
- You'll improve your weeknight dinner routine [12]. Ina knows how to pull together one-pan wonders [13] like nobody's business. She promises a five-minute Lemon Capellini in the second episode.
- One whole episode is devoted to pasta. Mario Batali will share his pasta tips in the third episode. Can I get a hell yes?
- You'll be inspired to challenge yourself in the kitchen. The fourth episode, entitled "Fearless Food," deals with tricky recipes like soufflé [14]. Let's go!
- You'll transform the way you cook eggs. I must see chef José Andrés, known for his absurdity and humor, make Ina crack a big smile while sharing how he fries eggs [15] in the fifth episode.
- Ina may come up with the cocktail of the Summer. Her sixth episode covers make-ahead desserts, including a Sparkling Grapefruit Granita with Pink Fizz. Is it the Frosé / Pink Drink of 2017?!
- We finally learn how to make the chevron cake. In February, Ina Instagrammed the chocolate ganache cake with chevron decoration [16], and it's about time we learned exactly how it's done.
- Yotam Ottolenghi shares his famous techniques. OK, chef Ottolenghi is known for roasting vegetables. My obsession for roasted broccoli [17] and roasted Brussels sprouts [18] doesn't quit, and I'm hungry for more veggies I can roast into sweet, caramelized goodness.
