“I’m thrilled to welcome Frankie Avalon to the Evine family and
look forward to giving our customers the opportunity to sample
authentic, gourmet-quality foods from this entertainment icon,”
said Bob Rosenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of Evine. “Frankie is
an experienced video commerce veteran, and coming from QVC, he
brings both live selling experience and a large following of fans
who have hungrily awaited his return to our space. We’re ready to
roll out the red carpet and welcome these fans to Evine with the
premiere of Frankie Avalon Foods.”
“Throughout my career, I’ve spent a lot of time on the road.
Despite the excitement of show business, I always looked forward to
returning to Philadelphia for one of my mother’s home cooked meals.
She was a wonderful cook and inspired a lot of the dishes in this
collection,” said Frankie Avalon. “In addition to authentic Italian
recipes, what makes these items special are the ingredients. We
didn’t cut any corners and demanded the best flavors from around
the world, including chocolate from Belgian and sea salt from
Sicily. I’m really proud of what we’ve created and I can’t wait to
share these mouthwatering foods with families everywhere.”
Premiering May 28 at midnight, 1am, 3am, 6am, 10am and 8pm ET,
Avalon will debut a variety of authentic Italian favorites,
including appetizers, entrées and desserts, many of which include
imported Italian ingredients. The assortment is exclusive to Evine
and will offer a wide array of easy-to-prepare items like breaded
spaghetti balls, fried and stuffed pazotti bread, limoncello cake,
cannoli cake and more. In addition to food, the premiere will also
include a limited number of signed copies of Avalon’s cookbook,
“Frankie Avalon’s Italian Family Cookbook: From Mom’s Kitchen to
Mine and Yours.”
