Bluprint & TODAY Food Launch 'Weeknight Cooking' with Curtis Stone and Dylan Dreyer

Bluprint, the NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment subscription service and premier digital destination for lifestyle learning, today announced the launch of the latest installment of its digital cooking series in partnership with TODAY Food, "Weeknight Cooking", with esteemed restaurateur, New York Times best-selling author and television personality Curtis Stone (Top Chef/Top Chef Junior, Food Network). NBC weather anchor and meteorologist Dylan Dreyer joins Chef Curtis Stone for an interactive cooking experience, teaching viewers of all skill levels tips and tricks to make quick and tasty weeknight meals.

Available now, "Weeknight Cooking" features five lessons with easy-to-follow recipes and smart techniques for cooking during the busy work week, including One Roast - Two Meals, Taco Tuesday, Breakfast for Dinner, 20 Minutes or Less and 5-Ingredients or Less. Each episode will feature two recipes, one where Stone teaches Dreyer how to make a dish and then a second recipe of his own to finish the lesson. Stone covers his go-to strategies for whipping up delicious, family-friendly meals with ease and time saving tips for getting dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes.

"I'm thrilled to join TODAY Food and the talented roster of Bluprint experts and instructors," says Curtis Stone. "As a dad on-the-go balancing two rambunctious boys and two busy restaurants, I'm excited to share some of the tips that have worked well for me in my own home kitchen over the years. There are many ways to get creative and experiment while saving time in the kitchen, and I hope to inspire viewers of all skill levels with this series."

From extending leftovers throughout the week to leveraging a stocked pantry, "Weeknight Cooking" offers topics and recipes to make meals the whole family will love. With easy to follow recipes and content, the series will create a fun, immersive learning experience for users.
