The Kitchen Season 24 Episode 1 Childhood Comforts

The Kitchen is back for Season 24, and the first episode is all about Childhood Comforts. The co-hosts are ready to whip up some classic dishes that remind them of their childhood, and they're kicking things off with a delicious Roasted Tomato and Garlic Soup that's perfect for chilly weather.

Katie Lee shares her recipe for Mini Chicken Pot Pies, which use store-bought puff pastry to make things super easy without sacrificing flavor. Jeff Mauro ups the ante with his homemade Sloppy Joe recipe, which he serves on toasted garlic bread for an extra level of deliciousness.

Sunny Anderson takes a trip down memory lane with her Old-School Tuna Noodle Casserole, which is creamy and comforting and always hits the spot. And Alex Guarnaschelli shares her recipe for a classic Meatloaf that's served with a tangy ketchup glaze.

In addition to these childhood favorites, the co-hosts are also sharing some fun and creative ideas for snack time. Geoffrey Zakarian shows how to make Homemade Fruit Roll-Ups using fresh fruit and a dehydrator, while the hosts share some tips for making DIY Lunchables that are healthier and more cost-effective than the store-bought version.

The Kitchen's resident bartender, Jordan Andino, is joining in on the fun with his recipe for a Grown-Up Hot Chocolate that includes a shot of Irish whiskey and a homemade marshmallow. And for dessert, the co-hosts are making a classic Soft Serve Ice Cream using just a few ingredients and an ice cream maker.

Throughout the episode, the co-hosts share their memories of these classic dishes and how they continue to bring comfort and joy to their lives. Whether you're looking for new ideas for snack time or just want to indulge in some childhood favorites, The Kitchen's first episode of Season 24 has got you covered.
