Amy Schumer Learns to Cook Season 1, Episode 2: Lunch Break and Pasta Night

Breakfast Time and Late-Night Eats

Comedian and actress Amy Schumer begins her culinary education where most people begin the day: breakfast! While Amy mixes up an old-fashioned, Chris shows her how to make a perfectly poached egg, crispy bacon, celery and fennel salad and some applesauce for their son, Gene. Chris and Amy also channel her Jewish roots to fry up some homemade latkes. Then Chris teaches Amy how to make some of her favorite late-night treats, and Amy teaches Chris how to make the perfect Moscow mule. While Amy sips her cocktail, she learns the secrets to homemade fried rice, chicken wings and peanut butter cup cookies. Amy also reveals her favorite thing to eat in bed: matzo with butter.

Brunch and Taco Night

As the quarantine continues, Amy Schumer and her husband, Chef Chris Fischer, decide the only possible cure for the lockdown blues is a good, old-fashioned carbo load. Amy mixes peach bellinis while Chris walks her through perfectly fried eggs with shallots and spinach, pork sausage and pancakes. Then, Chris candies his favorite vegetable, fennel, for a sweet scone. The couple's ode to carbs continues as Amy pours a large glass of wine and Chris teaches her to make two kinds of pasta, radish and sweet pea crostini and a refreshing crab, tomato and avocado salad.
