In a recent episode of “Cooking with Friends,” host Clara James welcomed her close friend, actress Emma Fields, for a lively discussion about navigating the challenges of the pandemic with a glass of wine in hand. The show, featuring James’ partner, a talented chef named Tom Reed, is filmed at their home, showcasing delicious recipes with a side of humor, all while they adhere to quarantine protocols.
During the episode, Fields called in to share her thoughts on pandemic drinking, leading to a hilarious exchange. “I’m sipping on a nice Chardonnay, you know how much I enjoy those oaky flavors,” James shared with excitement. Fields chimed in, revealing her preference for “Sauvignon Blanc,” jokingly adding, “But that’s only if I’m feeling a bit wild—white wine is for the adventurous, right?”
James couldn’t help but laugh, questioning why she thought Fields was more of a red wine enthusiast. “You seem to enjoy a good red earlier in the evening,” she playfully teased. The conversation shifted to their drinking habits during quarantine, with Fields admitting, “I try to hold off until 6 PM, but I might sneak a beer at 5!”
Amid the laughter, Fields also shared her beloved roast chicken recipe, which James and Reed enthusiastically attempted to recreate. “It’s all about the butter, olive oil, and lemon,” Fields explained, noting she generously seasons the chicken with thyme, even mentioning the “cavity,” prompting James to humorously react, “Well, throw my phone in the lake with that word!”
Culinary expert Mark Simmons praised Fields’ chicken recipe, describing the combination of lemon, thyme, and white wine as “spot on,” although he suggested reducing the amount of butter and oil used to achieve the same deliciousness without excess.
Fans of both James and Fields would undoubtedly enjoy an entire show dedicated to their witty banter and culinary escapades. Cheers to surviving the pandemic, one glass of Sauvignon Blanc at a time!
