The stars and creators of the new movie Mary Poppins Returns came to cook a proper Sunday English lunch with me and I think it may have been the best party I ever gave!! I hope you’ll see the show on Sunday, Dec 9th @ 12:30pm ET on Food Network- and also the movie, which opens worldwide on Wednesday, December 19th. It’s AMAZING!!!

It's no secret that flavor is really important to me, but the textures in a dish are equally important. The Warm Brown Rice & Butternut Squash from Cook Like a Pro has it all - nutty brown rice, sweet roasted squash with maple syrup, tart cranberries, and crunchy, salty Marcona almonds.  It makes the most satisfying lunch or the perfect dinner side dish with a simple roast chicken. Anyone else feel like making this TONIGHT?!

I’m so excited to tell you that “Cook Like a Pro” is finally available!  It's filled with delicious, easy recipes like Red Wine-Braised Short Ribs, Crispy Mustard Chicken & Frisée, and Salted Caramel Sundaes that I think you’ll love, plus lots of tips, tricks and techniques that will help you cook the way the pros do!  I hope you love this book! 

My new book “Cook Like A Pro” comes out tomorrow and I feel like celebrating with my Classic Daiquiris, Updated!  Click here for the recipe!
