When done right, risotto is a creamy, dreamy dish that is the perfect comfort food for any time of the year. You can add in heartier flavors such as earthy mushroom for cooler seasons, and in the summer, brighten up the decadent mixture with things like fresh herbs, seasonal vegetables, and citrus. Cookbook author and television personality Nigella Lawson has a lemon risotto recipe that is the perfect summer comfort food (via Nigella).

No passport? No problem! With the right ingredients, it’s easy to bring Mediterranean flair to your dinner table without jet setting around the world. In celebration of Mediterranean Diet Month this May, Genova Premium Tuna and celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian are teaming up to create a complimentary meal kit that will easily transport home cooks to the shores of Spain, the coasts of Italy and the beaches of Greece – right from their very own kitchens.

Celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian has opened critically acclaimed restaurants in his 30-plus-year career and has become a familiar face on the Food Network, appearing in "Chopped," "Iron Chef," and "The Kitchen," according to his website. The chef's first big break was at the famous New York French restaurant Le Cirque, where he focused on learning the ropes under chef Alain Sailhac.

Just when you thought you have seen it all, Chopped took things to the next level and brought us a new season hosted by lifestyle maverick Martha Stewart. According to Boston Globe, the season features a five-episode run where 16 chefs compete for $50,000. Filmed at a luxury resort in Maine, the season brings back the standards that define the series, including mystery baskets, while pitting contestants against a variety of new challenges, like having to manage cooking outdoors and switching cooking stations.

What's the real reason The Kitchen is successful, according to host Geoffrey Zakarian? In recent years, cooking shows have had somewhat of a revolution. From competition shows like Chopped and MasterChef to talk shows like The Chew and The Kitchen, people love learning about the language of food on television. To that end, The Hollywood Reporter recently cooked up an entire article about culinary TV's rise in popularity and the "hunger" viewers have for more. But despite the endless longing for more cooking programs, some shows have endured longer than others, The Kitchen being one of them.

Not many chefs can beat Bobby Flay. Really, it's a statistic: As of June 2019, only 34 percent of opponents had bested the celebrity chef on Beat Bobby Flay, according to CheatSheet. Flay's Iron Chef track record is even more impressive; he has competed on the show 61 times (more than any other chef) and won 72 percent of those battles, The Recipe reports. Despite Flay's resume, fellow Food Network chef Geoffrey Zakarian said that out-cooking Flay is easier than you might think.

Geoffrey Zakarian is not an unfamiliar face for those who frequently watch Food Network. The celebrity chef has appeared on Iron Chef America, The Kitchen, Chopped, and The Next Iron Chef. He also hosts Food Talk, a radio show by Sirius XM that features a lot of his Food Network friends, as noted on his website. However, as prominent as Zakarian is in the food world, he's not as rich as some of his colleagues, despite also owning several restaurants, consulting at several additional restaurants, and authoring four cookbooks. Celebrity Net Worth estimates that the 61-year-old's net worth is $6 million.

Geoffrey Zakarian has become one of the most recognizable faces on Food Network as a judge on “Chopped” and co-host of “The Kitchen.”. But the chef and restaurateur behind New York City’s Lambs Club and other spots has gradually expanded the scope of his work in TV to include behind-the-camera activity as a content producer. As Zakarian explains in the latest episode of Variety podcast “Strictly Business,” he launched Corner Table Entertainment in 2017, which put him in the perfect position to help deliver new shows for Food Network and other outlets featured in the newly launched Discovery Plus streamer.

Any longtime fan of Food Network is all too familiar with the rotating cast that makes up guest judges. Our favorite competition shows like Chopped frequently feature culinary celebrities who taste and rate participant’s dishes. And, just as the judges judge the food… we as viewers judge the judges.
