Food 101 kicks off its fifth season as Daniel Lucas welcomes Teresa Blaes to celebrate two favorite flavors that spark joy and creativity: tomatoes and chocolate. Teresa shares how sun-warmed tomatoes bring brightness and balance—whether sliced into a crisp caprese, slow-roasted for depth, or blitzed into a silky passata. She then leans into chocolate’s comforting complexity, from velvety cocoa to bittersweet bars that add body and intrigue to both sweet and savory dishes. Together they explore bold crossovers—think tomato-chocolate mole, cocoa-dusted roasted cherry tomatoes, and a balsamic-cacao glaze that sings over fresh mozzarella. Expect practical tips, tasting notes, and easy weeknight ideas that turn pantry staples into small celebrations.
