NEW YORK and SEATTLE and
DES MOINES, Iowa, Sept. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith
Corporation (NYSE: MDP; www.meredith.com), the nation's
leading media company serving 102 million American women—including
three out of four millennial women—announced today that the first
episode of the new Allrecipes Dinner Spinner television show
will air on Saturday, October 1, at
11 a.m. in most markets on The CW
Network's popular "One Magnificent Morning" programming block
targeting teens and families.
Dinner Spinner presented by Allrecipes is the new
half-hour competitive cooking series helping millions of home cooks
reinvent their daily menus. Each week on Dinner
Spinner, two home cooks compete to show off their creativity in
a race for the best plate. A panel of Allrecipes experts judge the
final dishes to determine the winner. Each episode will teach
audiences the value of using fresh flavors and ingredients to
create easy, family-friendly meals. Panasonic is the premier
sponsor of Dinner Spinner.
Panasonic's sponsorship of Dinner Spinner coincides with
the launch of their revolutionary new Countertop Induction Oven
(CIO), the latest addition to their technology-driven kitchen
appliance line-up. To learn more about the CIO visit:
shop.panasonic.com/CIO.
The series is hosted by noted chef and television personality
Gabe Kennedy. "School Night
Suppers," the premiere episode of the 30-minute show, pits lean and
healthy against indulgent when two home cooks put their own spin on
this week's Dinner Spinner challenge: Create a pork main dish
that's ready in under two hours.
Three judges—Broadway performer, actress and mom-of-two
Courtney Lopez, Allrecipes Allstar
Angela Sackett, and Allrecipes' Nutritionist Alli Shircliff—taste
the dishes to determine the winner, who will receive a package of
special prizes including an Allrecipes cookware set, a Panasonic
Countertop Induction Oven and a week's worth of groceries.
Additional judges in season one include celebrity judges
Laila Ali, Ali Landry, and Chef John Mitzewich of the FoodWishes YouTube
channel; and Allrecipes Allstars Diana Bishop, Rosalind Brazil, and Jamie Yost.
