Kathie Lee & Hoda: The Good Gifts Review
Kathie Lee & Hoda spent some more time promoting Kathie Lee Gifford’s new charity cookbook, The Good Gifts: One Year in the Heart of a Home, which celebrates 20 years at the TV host’s Connecticut home and benefits the Salvation Army.
Previously, Kathie Lee’s sister-in-law visited the show to share a Chocolate Custard Pie from the book. This time, they prepared a Salmon Fillet Recipe from family friend Andy Medina.

Kathie Lee & Hoda disagreed about how well done they prefer their fish. But they both agreed that the finished product was a winner. Hoda called it delicious, while Kathie Lee said it was “the best salmon I’ve ever had in my life.”

Grapeseed Oil has a high heat tolerance, and it won’t change the flavor of your salmon, according to Andy Medina. He said that one key to perfecting recipes is experimentation. Work with the things you like and keep tweaking until you get it just perfect.
