@judyjoochef Instagram profile image📺 The final instalment of House Knives premiering TONIGHT April 29th at 9pm on @foodnetwork 🍴⁣
⁣
A formidable new contender enters the arena, and there’s no room for error. The remaining chefs battle for the final chance to control the game, and the contenders face their most difficult challenge yet: surf and turf. They must execute two perfectly cooked proteins in only 45 minutes. ⏱️⁣
⁣
The intense battle for the throne is fought over vegetables 🥦, and the challenger attempts to end the ruler’s reign in hopes of sitting on the throne going into the finale.⁣
⁣
You don’t want to miss this one.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageTomorrow morning tune into James Martin Saturday Morning!  @saturdayjamesmartin with James Martin!  @jamesmartinchef I’m joined by the amazing @chef_lisa_goodwinallen @juliabradbury and @merlinfdc4 
We had so much fun cooking and drinking! 
I was so surprised that the production team picked tteokbokki (sweet and spicy Korean rice cakes) for me to make!  Neither James nor any of the guests have ever tired Tteok (chewy toothsome sticks made of rice flour)! It was so fun to have everyone try it for the first time. Tteokbokki virgins no more!! 😝😝😝
