Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos return to Cooking Channel for more family, food, and Tuscany in the new season of Extra Virgin, premiering tonight, January 7th at 9:00pm ET/6:00pm PT. Over the course of 13 episodes, Gabriele and Debi continue to share new adventures with their family and friends in New York, as they create delicious Tuscan-inspired dishes. Of course no experience would be complete without a taste of the simple life as they visit their family in Tuscany.
"Debi and Gabriele became Cooking Channel's first breakout stars when
EXTRA VIRGIN debuted and we are so excited to have them back for another season," said Michael Smith, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Cooking Channel. "Our viewers can look forward to even more amazing food, exciting adventures, celebrity guests, and magical family moments."
In the season premiere, Debi and Gabriele decide to give back to their neighborhood, who have welcomed them with open arms the last few years. Taking over one of the neighborhood's restaurants for the day, Gabriele and Debi cook up a variety of Tuscan recipes for friends. Since they are cooking for their neighbors, they will also shop in all of their favorite local shops for ingredients for the big feast. Join Debi and Gabriele throughout the season, with appearances by special guests, including designer Zac Posen and Aida Turturro (The Sopranos), as they experience all life has to offer. Whether it is constructing a pizza oven in Tuscany, or taking the family through the wilderness of a Tuscan safari to get a close look at some of the local wildlife, Debi and Gabriele like to enjoy it all with a little bit of family, friends and food along the way!
