“It’s about eating better and not skimping on flavor,” she said on the NBC morning show.
Shot in Brooklyn, the celebrity chef added in the show’s trailer that the setting helped inspire her.
“I love New York and Brooklyn. I love the parks, the markets, the energy, the vibe, the everything. But mostly, I love coming here because it inspires me to cook and live life to the fullest,” she said. “It’s so beautiful.”
She added that the show will show off “food that’s light but really delicious, from a hearty bolognese to a chocolatey treat — simple recipes you can whip together in a New York minute.”
