Nancy Vallarella & Chef Tom ColicchioBing Food and Drink App – (application not appetizer) for Windows 8.1 is a free foodie tool. It features a hands free mode that allows users to navigate with the wave of a hand making surface tablets a better kitchen companion over the ipad. Other features include: meal planner, shopping list, extensive wine guide, instructional videos and recipes from world renowned chefs such as Tom Colicchio – Top Chef lead judge, spokesperson for the Bing Food and Drink App and a recent acquaintance! Tom’s favorite feature is the ingredient search. Type the ingredients you have on hand and the Bing Food and Drink App will list recipes that feature those ingredients.
Jamie Oliver’s 15 Minute Meals is a new cooking show airing locally on CBS, Saturdays at 10:30a.m. This is one of the best cooking shows I have viewed in the last 20 years. Just by the title alone he has Rachael Ray beat by 15 minutes and his accent is hands down, a ton sexier. Fresh ingredients inspire refreshingly new dishes and will make you think, more please! Here is to hoping that the new year will bring more episodes or the ability to binge watch past episodes on a cold winter morning.
