The name of Melissa D’Arabian’s — recent winner of Food Network’s The Next Food Network Star — has begun popping up on cable guides. The show is named Ten Dollar Dinners with Melissa D’Arabian. According to the Food Network website:
On her daytime cooking series, season five winner of The Next Food Network Star and stay-at-home mom, Melissa d’Arabian, shows viewers how to incorporate creative and tasty meals into their budgets by sharing her tried-and-true recipes. With countless tips to save time and money in the kitchen, she keeps her $10 promise in every episode: four people, ten bucks, infinite possibilities.
The “daytime” caveat in the show’s blurb is interesting. Are they planning on replacing something on the weekday line-up with Melissa’s show? That’s a bold move for a reality show winner.
