Caroline Manzo Shares "Delicious & Easy" Recipes in a New Season of Her Cooking Show

When Caroline Manzo debuted her new cooking show, Food, Love, and Chaos with Caroline Manzo, on YouTube last year, we loved catching up with The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum’s new venture. Now, Caroline is back for a new season, with 7- to 10-minute episodes released every Wednesday, and she’s using her unique style to show fans how she prepares some of her favorite classic dishes. 

“Coming from a traditional Italian family, food and cooking have always been such a big part of my life ever since I can remember,” the New Jersey mom stated in a press release about the show. “The show is meant to be entertaining and fun as well as help people expand their cooking abilities with some delicious and easy-to-make recipes.”

In the new season, Caroline shares cooking tutorials from her own home, but she will also travel to some of New York City’s “hottest restaurants” to chat with world-renowned chefs. Moreover, Caroline will stop by the homes of her celebrity pals to help them “cook up some of her favorite recipes.” 

Last season on her cooking show, the Manzo’d with Children alum whipped up a variety of dishes and included members of her family — such as her son Chris Manzo — in the process. 

In an adorable video with Chris, the mother-and-son duo showed how to whip up a “basic marinara sauce,” which Caroline noted could be “turned into a million different things” for busy moms. The incredibly simple, yet utterly flavorful, recipe includes key ingredients like garlic and red wine, plus an absolute necessity: fresh basil from her “garden.” 

“It’s a pot on the deck that we call a ‘garden,’” Chris hilariously quipped. 

“It’s an herb garden — doesn’t matter, a garden is a garden!” Caroline shot back, proving her ability to charm and cook at the same time. 

In addition to her cooking show, Caroline has a cookbook titled Food, and Other Things I Love set to be published in fall 2024 by Chronicle Books. Per the aforementioned press release, the book will “include family recipes perfected over time and culinary wisdom passed through the generations.”
