Food Network Invites Martha Stewart, Bobby Flay Into Your Kitchen

Learn to cook with celebrity chefs in the Food Network Kitchen app (via Food Network)

If, like me, you have neither the ability nor the desire to cook, it can be hard to inject variety into your meals.

(There are only so many different flavor combinations tortellini manufacturers can invent.)

Discovery’s new Food Network Kitchen app, however, aims to change that.

The subscription-based service offers the chance to bake, barbecue, and broil with star chefs, culinary influencers, cookbook authors, and restaurateurs—right in your kitchen.

So dust off that whisk and dig out that saucepan: You’ll be able to interact directly with chefs and the Food Network Kitchen culinary team during sessions.

“If you’re stumped by grating garlic or peeling ginger, ask your questions and get answers,” the Food Network said in a press release.

Line-ups are announced at least a week in advance; shop for groceries in the app as you swipe through recipes, then order for home delivery.

“As we talked to more customers, we heard that they were often not feeling confident in the kitchen, and wanted help,” Tyler Whitworth, senior vice president and general manager of direct-to-consumer at Food Network parent company Discovery, told CNET.

“We built this kitchen companion that customers could use on a regular basis to help them build their skills and have more fun in the kitchen,” he added.

And what’s more fun than learning from best-of-the-best celebrity chefs like Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis, Ina Garten, Martha Stewart, and a bunch of other people I’ve never heard of?

On-demand courses and classes will debut each month; choose from seminars in Mexican cuisine, baking and cake decorating, and Thanksgiving favorites, with more on the way.

Also look for instructions for over-the-top creations from seasonal series like “Christmas Cookie Challenge,” “Holiday Baking Championship,” and “Ultimate Hanukkah Challenge.”

Food Network Kitchen integrates with Amazon Alexa to act as a hands-free sous chef while you cook.

For $48 a year (or $4 per month), subscribers can find hundreds of step-by-step videos, advanced search functionality, and thousands of recipes.

Each purchase of a Food Network Kitchen premium annual subscription provides up to 100 meals for children via No Kid Hungry.
