Plated Teams Up with Gail Simmons to Offer Signature Dish in Celebration of Her First Cookbook Bringing It Home

NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Plated, the meal kit service for people who love food, kicks off its Tastemakers series this week with Top Chef judge, food writer, and culinary expert Gail Simmons. With the tagline "Collaborations for a Life Well Fed," the new series will showcase like-minded, food-loving people and brands across Plated menus, events, and digital channels several times a year.

Timed to the launch of Gail's first cookbook Bringing It Home: Favorite Recipes from a Life of Adventurous Eating which debuts next week, Plated will feature the Za'atar Chicken Schnitzel with Israeli Salad recipe from her cookbook on its menu, share an interview and behind-the-scenes video on Plated's content site Morsel, host a cooking demo with Gail from the Plated Test Kitchen on Facebook Live, and more.

Plated Culinary Co-founder and Head Chef Elana Karp said, "We couldn't be more thrilled that Gail is the first Tastemaker in our exciting new series. She shares our love of food and our passion for helping people create amazing culinary experiences?with inspiration from around the globe! Her debut cookbook is filled with delicious, inspired recipes, and we're delighted that our customers will get the chance to cook one, Plated-style."

Gail Simmons said, "Partnering with Plated to bring a recipe from my new cookbook to life has been a dream come true. My Za'atar Chicken Schnitzel with Israeli Salad is a very personal recipe and I am beyond excited to know that, thanks to Plated, so many devoted and enthusiastic cooks can easily order everything needed, at the click of a button, to make it for themselves at home."

In her cookbook, Bringing It Home, (Grand Central Life & Style, October 24, 2017), Gail shares her best recipes and food experiences. From her travels, exploring global flavors and keeping detailed diaries, to her "Top Chef" culinary adventures with the world's most notable chefs, she is always asking: "How can I bring this dish home to my own kitchen?" Her goal is to make fabulous recipes using accessible ingredients and smart, simple cooking techniques for successful family meals and easy entertaining.
