New Lockdown Cooking Show – What’s In Your Fridge?

Twisted, the UK’s number one food and drink brand on social media, has launched its second new cooking show this month ‘What’s In Your Fridge?’ in response to the coronavirus epidemic and the effects it is having on people’s mealtimes. 

Lockdown life doesn’t have to mean lacklustre mealtimes, so Twisted is bringing audiences their second new quarantine cuisine series ‘What’s In Your Fridge?’ to show home cooks just how creative they can get with limited ingredients at their disposal. 

Every week the Twisted team reach out to their audience of 4.9 million followers on Instagram and ask them to share photos on their own Instagram Story of what they have in their fridge with the hashtag #whatsinyourfridge. The team then reviews all of the entries, assessing what they have seen in people’s fridges the most, and go on to create a special recipe using the ingredients they’ve seen. 

Helping their audience to cook delicious things whilst at home using what they already have in the fridge, Twisted hope the new series will also help to reduce food waste and encourage people to use what they’ve got instead of heading out to the shops if they don’t have to.

The first episode of What’s In Your Fridge is brought to us by Twisted Chef Sophie, who saw a lot of cream cheese in people’s fridges as well as jarred red peppers, which she uses as the base for a Creamy Red Pepper Gnocchi. Throughout the episode Sophie also presents alternatives that people can use if they don’t have the ingredients she’s using, which is what Twisted is all about, experimenting with food and trying new things.

Twisted’s first lockdown inspired series ‘Corner Shop Challenge’ launched last week and featured Twisted Chef Sophie in the first episode, who made a flavourful recipe for Pea Tikka Masala, with ingredients that cost less than £5, serve two people, and can be found at your local corner shop. 

The Twisted ethos ‘unserious food tastes seriously good’ permeates through all of Twisted’s recipes and their attitude to cooking and eating, which they firmly believe should be a fun and experimental endeavour. With the increase in time at home, Twisted hopes to inspire their 30 million+ followers to throw the ‘rulebook’ out the window and come up with their own recipes and twists on classics, making good use of the ingredients that they have at their disposal. 

Twisted will be launching more new series in the coming weeks that are all designed around helping their audience and everyone beyond it to get creative with cooking during lockdown life and beyond.

Caesars Entertainment Unveils Stunning Transformation with the Grand Opening of Caesars New Orleans

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
