There are few things we love more than food, and our favourite TV shows. Today, we’re serving both. In a quest to help everyone fall in love with cooking more, we’re chatting with iconic actress Tiffani Thiessen about her passion for food and upcoming cookbook. 

We’re diving deep on what cooking means to us, reducing food waste, nostalgia and childhood, raising kids, travel, and giving yourself grace + balance. 

You probably know Tiffani from her legendary role as Kelly Kapowski in the cult classic series Saved By The Bell, and as Valerie Malone in Beverly Hills 90210. Now she’s on TV as the host of MTVs hit food series, Deliciousness, and she’s turned her passion for food into a new career chapter as a cookbook author, with her debut cookbook Pull Up A Chair, and now her newest cookbook which launches this September, “Here We Go Again: Recipes and Inspiration to Level Up Your Leftovers”. 

Tune in as we chat about: 

  • Career pivots and shifting into a second life in food after a legendary acting career 

  • What fuels Tiffani’s love of cooking, and how she prioritizes it 

  • The importance of cooking with leftovers for reducing waste and climate change, time, and money. 

  • Giving yourself balance and grace 

  • Tips for cooking with kids and feeding picky eaters 

  • Tiffani’s go-to recipes for entertaining

  • The best leftover ingredients to work with 

  • The power of nostalgia and food  

  • Experiencing high school on set of a high school TV show
