Award-winning journalist Katie Couric and husband John Molner have partnered with cookware retailer Sur La Table to launch a cooking web series, “Full Plate with Katie & John”. The series, aimed at viewers with hectic schedules of their own, encourages even the busiest cook to prepare healthy meals at home. Five weekly episodes will feature Couric and Molner cooking up nutritious recipes that take less than 20 minutes to prepare with Sur La Table National Chef Joel Gamoran.
The cooking web series takes place in Couric’s and Molner’s home kitchen. Episodes will launch each Sunday in January (beginning Jan. 1), at 7pm EST, on the Sur La Table homepage. A live event with Katie and John will be hosted at Sur La Table’s Hell’s Kitchen location in New York on Tuesday, Jan. 31, at 4pm EST. The series, co-produced by Katie Couric Media, is sponsored by healthy cookware brand GreenPan and kitchen and bath manufacturer Hansgrohe.
“John and I love cooking at home but can rarely find the time, so we are thrilled to partner with Sur La Table and Chef Joel Gamoran in creating these fast gourmet recipes,” said Couric. “We look forward to sharing them with our busy viewers and showing them that they can do the same.”
“Katie and John, although famous, are not that different from so many time-strapped Americans,” states Sur La Table National Chef, Joel Gamoran. “The idea is if busy celebrities can find time to make homemade food, everyone else can too. Our goal with this web series is to cook up easy meals that are as approachable as possible! Great cooking requires quality ingredients and tools, so we are also excited to partner with GreenPan and Hansgrohe, both brands whose products make cooking easier and more accessible to everyone.”
“We are excited to partner up with Sur La Table and Katie Couric for “Full Plate with Katie & John”. The ideal way to kick off GreenPan’s 10th anniversary year! GreenPan’s ceramic non-stick coating assures no chemicals end up in your food, allows for cooking with less oils and is easy to clean,” says Dieter Naessens, president of GreenPan. “In short, it makes healthy cooking a breeze, so it’s perfect for the active lifestyle of Katie, John and so many of us!”
“We are excited to join this collaboration. Innovation is at the heart of Hansgrohe, and it is exemplified in our products for the kitchen and bath,” says Angela Hoggan, digital marketing & communications manager at Hansgrohe. “As Katie and John demonstrate in the web series, our latest Select technology allows for seamless operation of the faucet in the kitchen.”
