Interior designer and empty nester, Linda Engler, and her husband Dave are enjoying getting back to grown-up dinners in the kitchen she designed herself. To that end, Mark Bittman and Chef Nick walk them through a Herb Seasoned Fish with a Tomato and Watermelon Salad, recipes of Mark’s that perfectly fit their sophisticated tastes, and put their new 36-inch range with griddle and Steam-Assist oven to good use.

As the mother of a newly-converted vegetarian, Anna-Marie finds herself in unchartered cooking territory. Mark Bittman and Chef Nick “join” Anna-Marie in her self-designed kitchen to prepare a delicious Mixed Mushroom Pho on her new 48-inch range with induction.

Running your own design business while raising two small children is no small feat. To lend a hand in the best way they know how, Mark Bittman and Chef Nick visit Emily in her self-designed kitchen to walk her through her first Roast Chicken with New Potatoes. And to make sure the kids get their veggies, they also prepare a delicious side of Sous Vide Glazed Carrots.
