My Favorite Family Recipes airs in June!


Want to surprise your family and friends with an exquisite meal? Capital Cooking and host Lauren DeSantis share with Washington, Lauren’s favorite family recipes while cooking with none other than her mother and aunt, Ginny DeSantis and Linda Roth.

DeSantis, born and raised in St.Louis, prepares with her mother and aunt four of her favorite recipes, while sharing the tips and secret ingredients that make them special. Starting off with a DeSantis tradition, cocktail time, Lauren will prepare her favorite Cosmo she calls “9 ladies dancing,” suitable for all occasions—especially Christmas time. Then she will share one of her Nana’s secret recipe “Popeye Pills,” made mostly of spinach, eggs, and herb stuffing, which is the perfect appetizer for any dinner party or cocktail event.

Mother and daughter later join to cook Ginny DeSantis’s famous recipe, “Chicken Duchess.” This unique dish— made of chicken that is stuffed with a variety of chesses, breaded, baked, and finally topped with a white cream sauce— is the perfect entrée for any special dinner. And lastly for dessert, her aunt Linda will share her Blue Ribbon award winning Carrot Cake recipe and teach us all the tips and ingredients that make her cake so special and distinctive from the rest.

Tune in to Capital Cooking’s “Family Favorites” episode and make Lauren DeSantis’s favorite family recipes your own by surprising your family and friends with these exquisite dishes. Capital Cooking is the first television show of its kind: a series exploring the culinary and cultural riches of our nation’s Capital.

Capital Cooking highlights cooking traditions of regional cuisine from all areas of the country as well as international dishes. Throughout the series, DeSantis will incorporate entertaining tips into the shows, will cook with local chefs, and will demonstrate how to make recipes with ingredients that viewers can find at local grocery stores and farmers’ markets.
