Season 12 Episode 1215 | 26m 46s | CC
This show is all about making your life easier. I remind you to think of recipes as roadmaps, that you can - and should - personalize. I share a Winter Minestrone that can use any kind of hearty green and a Matalota-Style Mixed Fish Stew that can change according to market availability. So go ahead and play with what you have to create something just for you!
