NEW YORK, NY – Fans of Top Chef and foodies everywhere are in for a treat this week as Plated, the meal kit service for people who love food, kicks off its Tastemakers: Collaborations for a Life Well Fed series with Top Chef judge, food writer, and culinary expert Gail Simmons. The new series will feature like-minded, food-loving people and brands across Plated menus, events, and digital channels several times a year.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled that Gail is the first Tastemaker in our exciting new series” said Elana Karp, Plated Culinary Co-Founder and Head Chef, in a press release. "She shares our love of food and our passion for helping people create amazing culinary experiences–with inspiration from around the globe! Her debut cookbook is filled with delicious, inspired recipes, and we’re delighted that our customers will get the chance to cook one, Plated-style.”
Plated will open the series with Gail's personal and tasty Za’atar Chicken Schnitzel with Israeli Salad recipe from her first cookbook Bringing It Home: Favorite Recipes from a Life of Adventurous Eating, which debuts next week. Plated is also releasing an interview and behind-the-scenes video on Plated’s content site Morsel, a hosted cooking demo with Gail from Plated Test Kitchen on Facebook Live, and more.
“Partnering with Plated to bring a recipe from my new cookbook to life has been a dream come true,” Gail said. “My Za’atar Chicken Schnitzel with Israeli Salad is a very personal recipe and I am beyond excited to know that, thanks to Plated, so many devoted and enthusiastic cooks can easily order everything needed, at the click of a button, to make it for themselves at home.”
Sharing her best recipes and food experiences she’s gathered from her Top Chef culinary adventures with the world’s most notable chefs and her personal travels exploring global flavors, Gail’s cookbook is centered around the question: “How can I bring this dish home to my own kitchen?” Her goal is to make tasty recipes using accessible ingredients and smart, simple cooking techniques for successful family meals and easy entertaining.
You can check out Gail’s recipe for Plated on plated.com/menus, which will also be available for delivery for four weeks beginning November 12. For more about Gail, including the story behind her recipe, visit plated.com/morsel.
