Katie is back with her second annual Thanksgiving Hotline, answering all of your burning questions about the biggest cooking day of the year! She gives all of her tips for cooking a turkey perfectly; from how to properly defrost and brine your bird, to what temperature to roast it to and how to rest it correctly.

Katie catches up with Erin Lichy from The Real Housewives of New York City to chat about her new cookbook, She’s a Host, and life as a mom of four, entrepreneur, real estate pro, and podcast co-host with her husband, Abe. Erin shares her down-to-earth approach to entertaining—keep it simple, keep it fun, and never run out of food, drinks, or good music. They dive into her favorite recipes, from her secretly veggie-packed mac and cheese (hint: broccoli) to her go-to meatballs and roast chicken. And of course, Katie couldn’t resist asking about RHONY—including how Erin’s life has changed since joining the show and her take on that unforgettable Hamptons caviar moment (you’ll want to hear her reaction). Listen in for an episode that feels like you’re catching up with your girlfriends.

Katie is joined by Jordan and Adam Sager, her co-founders of Kind of Wild Wines and co-presidents of Winesellers Ltd., a family-owned wine import company their father started in Chicago back in 1978. Together, they had the same realization—if they cared about eating organic, why shouldn’t they be drinking organic too? That idea inspired the creation of Kind of Wild Wines, their label that’s proudly organic, zero-sugar, additive-free, and sustainably farmed. In this episode, they pull back the curtain on what’s really in your wine (including the shocking fact that up to 70 additives can be legally used), clear up the confusion around sulfites, and share their favorite holiday wine pairings (like sparkling cava with ham), so you can sip smarter this season. It’s an eye-opening and lively conversation that just might change the way you think about what’s in your glass.

Katie is solo today with a heartfelt episode as she closes an important chapter — The Kitchen on Food Network has officially come to an end after an incredible 12 years, 40 seasons, and 534 episodes. She shares the behind-the-scenes story of how she landed the position after nearly seven years of trying to break into Food Network, including the audition where she had to make her ultimate PB&J (she went all-in on the classic white-bread, sugary-jelly version she always wished for as a kid). Katie reflects on favorite memories with her co-hosts, how the show led her to meeting her husband Ryan, and what she hopes to cook up next in the food media world. Most importantly, she sends a huge thank-you to the listeners and fans who made this ride such a joy every single day.

Katie hangs out with actress Brie Larson and Courtney McBroom, former culinary director of Milk Bar, to chat about their new cookbook Party People and their shared love of throwing themed bashes that are anything but ordinary. From murder mystery nights to “Brag and Complain” parties, and even a Hot Dog Appreciation Day, these two know how to make every get-together unforgettable. They dish on why parties should be fun (not fussy) and how to make the decision of whether or not to allow social media. Plus they have delicious recipes to go along with any theme like loaded queso (topped with guacamole), the ultimate party punch, and an obsession with Taco Bell.

Katie sits down with her friend and acclaimed Italian chef Stefano Secchi, owner of New York City’s Rezdora and Massara restaurants, to talk about his journey of growing up in his family’s Italian restaurant in Texas to training in world-famous restaurants in Italy. It was his hard work and dedication that has earned him multiple Michelin stars as well as a three-star review from the New York Times. Stefano shares the secrets behind making boxed pasta taste restaurant-worthy at home, the key to mastering cacio e pepe, and even a clever pizza trick that sneaks in extra veggies for his kids, all while giving us a peek into the passion and hard work that shaped his culinary path.
