Remember that time I teased on Instagram after filming with Katie Couric and her husband for an episode of Sur La Table‘s web series, Full Plate?
Well, now the episode is live!
Watch me teach Katie Couric (I know, crazy, right?!) how to spiralize with the Inspiralizer and make a delicious cold-blasting soup, perfect for those spring sniffles!
Katie Couric couldn’t have been more gracious and kind – and her husband too! They were both such great hosts, and made me feel so welcome and comfortable on set. We were joined by the always amazing Joel Gamoran, a food personality and former Head Chef at Sur La Table.
Their web series, Full Plate, shows viewers in a couple to a few minutes how to whip up healthy, delicious meals that aren’t complicated – just fresh and flavorful. Of course, when they asked me to film an episode, showing how to incorporate spiralized veggies into an easy meal, I jumped!
We made my Chicken Noodle Soup with Carrot Noodles, but made a few adjustments like using more fresh herbs, and adding leeks, for a pinch of spring. As you’ll see in the video, Katie says, “You don’t even miss the noodles!”
And of course, you can get the Inspiralizer in-stores (or online) nationwide at Sur La Table. To find your local Sur La Table, click here. Or, purchase the Inspiralizer online, here.
