• Ginger Mixup

  Ginger has it all: it's good for you, has depth of flavor, and works in many kinds of dishes. That's why we're mixing it up today with three completely different takes. First Mussels and Bok Choy gets complex with a gingery broth; then ginger gives ordinary burgers a Korean flavor profile. And finally, homemade ginger beer - a bartender shows Sara a deceptively simple recipe that's the secret to a delicious Dark and Stormy cocktail.

• Cheese Please

  How do you make any dish even more delicious? Some would argue, just add cheese. To prove the point Sara's got two recipes elevated by our favorite milk product a French Onion Soup Burger topped with melty, gooey cheese and an equally gooey Alsatian Onion Pie with caramelized onions and melted Gruyere that puts it over the top. Later, we visit a dairy farm where the cows are treated like queens and then on 'Ask Sara', a homemade ricotta that's so easy you'll never get it in the store again.

• Sketches of Spain

  In Spain, paella is so popular there are competitions between towns for the best recipe. It is especially so in Valencia, where Sara cooks with local chef Franck Garanger. At the local market, he finds his secret ingredients for a showstopping paella, cooked outdoors, on the open fire, overlooking the sea. If we didn't have you at Paella, just wait for the dinner where it's eaten right out of the pan with special rules for pilfering your dinner partners portion. Then, Sara sautes fish topped with a colorful Gazpacho Vinaigrette. Recipes: Valencia Paella; Sauteed Fish with Gazpacho Vinaigrette.

• Weeknight Two for One

  Easy weeknight cooking takes a strategy, and Sara has one of the best: cooking a dish one night; then repurposing it into an entirely different meal for another night. Food entrepreneur Maya Kaimal joins Sara to make a comforting Turkey Keema with sweet potatoes and ground meat. On another night, that morphs into Indian stuffed peppers. Then Sara Sautee's Duck Breasts for a quick meal. She uses those same Duck Breasts in a mouthwatering Peking Duck Wrap. Plus, Sara demystifies spices on 'Ask Sara.' Recipes: Turkey Keema with Sweet Potatoes; Indian Stuffed Peppers; Sauteed Duck Breasts; Peking Duck Wraps.
