On Monday, June 23, at 10:30 PM ET, FYI‘s Global Soul Kitchen is set to put a fresh spin on a familiar comfort food. Chef Deborah VanTrece steps into her kitchen to present her German-inspired Duck Schnitzel alongside Sweet Potato Waffles, a combination that takes the classic chicken and waffles concept and pushes it in a new direction.
VanTrece, known for her bestselling cookbook, makes a point of blending the traditional flavors of Southern American soul food with inspirations from around the world. This half-hour episode is a good example of her approach: finding the common ground between seemingly disparate cuisines and making them work together. It is a cooking style that feels both new and strangely familiar.
This program should appeal to anyone looking for fresh recipe ideas or a different way to think about what “soul food” can be. VanTrece has a knack for making bold combinations feel natural, and this episode seems no different. Expect to see how the savory duck pairs with the sweet waffles, giving home cooks something new to try.
