On this week's edition of Culinary Confidential, Christina Cates welcomes Emmy Award-winning chef Frankie Celenza to celebrate the launch of his brand new Tastemade series 'Let Frankie Cook', which premiered earlier this week just in time for Pizza Week.

Born and raised in New York City, Frankie studied music at NYU before turning his college-era budget cooking into a full-blown culinary movement. His Emmy-winning career spans multiple viral cooking shows such as Struggle Meals, food advocacy, and a mission to make great meals accessible to everyone.

Frankie invites you into his home kitchen for bold recipes, clever hacks, and his signature low-stress style of cooking. If you enjoyed Struggle Meals, which ran for nine seasons and 100 episodes while helping millions cook delicious meals without breaking the bank, chances are you will enjoy his latest offering. He's also the author of EAT: Easy, Affordable, Tasty: 100 Recipes with All of the Flavor and None of the Fuss, his first cookbook, which is now available wherever books are sold.
