Episodes
A Memorable Meal
Franco Noriega recreates the meal that made him fall in love with New York City. His reimagined Steak Frites covered with a bright green Chimichurri is paired with fluffy and crunchy Twice-Baked Potato Wedges. Then, a brown butter lemon sauce and crispy parmesan chips make his Parmesan Lemon Asparagus the ideal side, while an ooey-gooey Lava Chocolate Chip Cookie is the perfect sweet surprise-inside dessert.
Comfort Food
Franco Noriega's Peruvian inspired feast is the classic comfort food meal. Crispy and fluffy Baby Arepas with melted cheese and chorizo are the perfect appetizer, and there's nothing more comforting than juicy Pollo a la Brasa with crispy skin, smothered in a spicy green sauce. Papas Huancaina with a Spicy Cheese Sauce make for the perfect side, especially when paired with a Pisco Sour.
Brunch
Franco Noriega's brunch game is strong with his piled-high Avocado Toast and an elevated take on a Tex-Mex Huevos Rancheros with fried tortilla strips that's then covered in homemade salsa, refried beans, crema and the most perfectly fried eggs.
Easy Entertaining
Franco Noriega makes a quick and easy weeknight meal full of flavor that's perfect for entertaining. Tomato Bruschetta with fresh gremolata sauce is a great way to start the night, while his Cheater Mushroom "Risotto" transforms a basic stovetop rice into a creamy and rich meal. Then, a Lemon Dijon Chicken with homemade honey mustard sauce is the ultimate impressive main course, and a Pear and Goat Cheese Salad goes a little nuts.
A Mexican Feast
Franco Noriega makes a Mexican feast that includes a Vegetable Ceviche, a twist on the traditional dish, and a Quinoa Salad with Fried Plantains and Jalapeno Vinaigrette that's the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. Then, Grilled Shrimp and Pineapple Tacos partner up with the perfect topping and dip, Charred Pineapple Guacamole.
That's Amore!
Franco Noriega recreates his Italian grandmother's favorite dishes! A Prosciutto Flatbread Pizza with melty caramelized onions and sweet balsamic vinegar glaze is the perfect appetizer. Then, his meaty, rich and creamy Rigatoni Bolognese is the star of the meal, while Stuffed Zucchini with Lemon Aioli is the perfect side. Finally, his simple Deconstructed Tiramisu celebrates the best part of this iconic Italian dessert -- the filling!
