Your Freezer

Season 1 Episode 108 | 26m 46s | CC

Vivian celebrates freezers as kitchen workhorses, from family "lockers" storing garden spoils to mom's meal prep soup batches. She transforms Mexican takeout into frozen burritos, shops frozen vs. canned with Christine at Piggly Wiggly, and makes upside-down turkey veggie rice bowls for her kids. In Paris, she discovers Picard, France's beloved frozen food store.
