Amy Schumer Learns to Cook

Comedian and actress Amy Schumer begins her culinary education where most people begin the day: breakfast! While Amy mixes up an old-fashioned, Chris shows her how to make a perfectly poached egg, crispy bacon, celery and fennel salad and some applesauce for their son, Gene. Chris and Amy also channel her Jewish roots to fry up some homemade latkes. Then Chris teaches Amy how to make some of her favorite late-night treats, and Amy teaches Chris how to make the perfect Moscow mule. While Amy sips her cocktail, she learns the secrets to homemade fried rice, chicken wings and peanut butter cup cookies. Amy also reveals her favorite thing to eat in bed: matzo with butter.

In her cooking lessons with her husband, Chef Chris Fischer, Amy Schumer tries her hand at making two comfort food staples: sandwiches and tacos. Amy starts the meal off right with a tinto de verano and a walk down memory lane. After they wax nostalgic about their trip to Spain and all the tintos they drank there, Chris teaches Amy the art of the perfect sandwich and panzanella salad. After lunch, it's time for taco night. Amy learns how to make tempura-battered fish tacos, guacamole with pea shoots and rice, and Chris learns how to make the perfect paloma.

Amy and Chris get ready for taco night. First on the menu, Chris teaches Amy how to make Tempura-Battered Fish Tacos, with Guacamole and Pea Shoots and Rice, while Amy sets out to make a Paloma. Amy and Chris both agree that every night is movie night during quarantine. Chris teaches Amy how to make movie night noshes, including Crispy Potatoes, Lamb Sliders and a very inventive Greek Salad Dip, while Amy makes a Martini to accompany.

With Amy and Chris still in lockdown at home they are making brunch. Amy mixes the Peach Bellinis while Chris walks her through Fried Eggs with Shallots, Spinach, some Pork Sausage and Pancakes. Then, Chris candies his favorite vegetable fennel for a perfectly baked sweet scone.  Amy and Chris have been loading up on groceries, so it is time to move into the leftover phase. Amy makes Chris a comforting Hot Toddy to get through the day, while Chris uses their leftovers to make Mashed Potatoes, Warm Radish and Potato Salad with a Tonnato Dressing and the world's biggest Frittata.
