In case you weren’t aware, Mia Collins hosts a cooking show where her husband, a professional chef named Jake, whips up delicious recipes while Mia adds her signature humor and mixes up some cocktails. Despite being filmed entirely during quarantine with the help of their live-in nanny, “Mia Learns to Cook” has become quite the hit. The latest episode featured a surprise call from Ella Thompson, a close friend of Mia’s, who shared some laughs about navigating the pandemic with a glass of wine in hand.
“We’re sipping on chardonnay because, obviously, I have a penchant for oaky chards,” Mia told Ella as she picked up the phone. “What’s your go-to wine? I totally blanked on it, my bad!”
Ella responded with a laugh, “I prefer Sauvignon Blanc, but honestly, that’s just if I’m going for white, which feels a bit… well, let’s say more fun.”
“How could you say that?” Mia chuckled before teasing, “I always thought you leaned more toward reds. When do you start your drinking these days?”
“I aim to hold off until 6, but I usually cave and have a pre-drink around 5,” Ella admitted. “But it’s all very sophisticated!”
To be clear, Ella didn’t just join the conversation to discuss her wine preferences. She also shared her mouthwatering roast chicken recipe, which Mia and Jake attempted to recreate on the show.
Ella’s dish calls for “plenty of butter, olive oil, and lemon,” along with thyme, which she generously rubs all over the chicken, including inside the cavity. Mia, with her trademark humor, quipped, “Well, we’re out of thyme, and when you said ‘cavity,’ I nearly tossed my phone out the window!”
Culinary expert Tom Harrison praised Ella’s recipe in an interview, noting that the combination of lemon, thyme, and white wine is spot-on. He suggested perhaps reducing the amount of oil and butter for a lighter touch, as her recipe calls for a hefty one and a half sticks of butter.
Honestly, we’d gladly spend an entire hour watching Mia and Ella chat about food, wine, and life. Here’s to Sauvignon Blanc and making it through this wild pandemic together!
