Sara's Weeknight Meals

Golden State Grub

Sara travels to the West Coast for some delectable California food. She visits a Sacramento farmer with his own video blog, then joins him and a local chef to make sushi two ways. In Napa, Sara discovers a book club with a difference – they only read cookbooks, and then each person makes a dish from that month’s selection. Sara makes shrimp tikka with mango chutney with one of the group’s members.

    Sara travels to Arkansas to discover how local farmers turn their land into sanctuaries for migrating birds in the off season. One of the farmers shows her his family’s favorite deep fried Rice balls and Catfish. In Sara’s kitchen, her old friend Airis Johnson digs deep to her Louisiana Creole roots to show how quick Jambalaya can be. It’s the hands down best recipe for this New Orleans favorite!

    In Spain, paella is so popular there are competitions between towns for the best recipe. It is especially so in Valencia, where Sara cooks with local chef Franck Garanger. At the local market, he finds his secret ingredients for a showstopping paella, cooked outdoors, on the open fire, overlooking the sea. Then, Sara sautés fish topped with a colorful Gazpacho Vinaigrette.
