Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn

Food Revolution Day

Posted by Lauren Tempera

I was really happy to learn that Jamie Oliver was appearing at the today show the same day I was.  Jamie is a force of nature--truly committed to the good work of food as well as just plain good food. What he is here talking about is the work he does to change the way our kids/families eat. The question many ask is--what is a British chef coming here to tell us how to eat? Well I don't care who does it but the healthy feeding of our kids is major..At the root of many health and wellness issues across socio-economic lines too. Jamie is the real deal; kind, passionate, fun and making a difference. Be the revolution too. To check out more info on Food Revolution Day, click here

Recipes From Today's Show: Hot Sauce

Posted by Lauren Tempera

Today on MHTV: We love hot sauce in my family, and with good reason! It's a great addition to meals that easily adds flavor. Today's show is all about the Quinn family's favorite condiment: New-Orleans style beans, crunchy sesame chicken wings and my own easy-to-make hot sauce. For the hot-sauce weary: although my boys love super hot sauce everything, these recipes add more depth of flavor than heat.

Recipes From Today's Show: A Taste of Italy

Posted by Lauren Tempera

Today on MHTV: I love Italian food for it's simple ingredients and delicious flavors that take minimal effort; it's one of my favorite cuisines to cook in the kitchen, so today is my take on a "taste of Italy". Fresh tuna steak with capers and onions gets tossed with frisee and served over chiocciole, a medium shaped pasta shell.  Chickpea, melon and rosemary salad add a sweet and salty side and for dessert, my take on an Italian ice.

Recipes From Today's Show: Simple Entertaining

Posted by Lucinda Scala Quinn

TODAY on MHTV: Whenever someone asks for an entertaining idea that's simple, sophisticated, and budget-friendly, I usually think mussels. My brother David is here and we're baking the dark-blue mollusks inside a parchment pocket with white wine and a tomato-parsley sauce. Eggplant dip with warm flatbread and crisp veggies is a no-fail appetizer, and fresh pears with gorgonzola, honey, and walnuts, a no-fuss dessert. More from the show.
