Plot Synopsis

DUFF: ACE OF TASTE features Duff Goldman in the kitchen, where he shares his favorite savory dishes and sweet desserts. Known for his baking expertise on primetime, Duff is now sharing his culinary skills as a classically trained chef by preparing flavorful and satisfying meals. As a husband and new father, Duff spreads his love for his family, friends, and local community with delicious, freshly prepared, homemade meals. From tiny finger foods for his daughter Josephine's first tea party, to a decadent cheeseburger on a pate a choux bun to satisfy the stomachs of his bandmates, and to new twists on crowd-pleasing sweets for a bake sale at his neighborhood elementary school, Duff adds his signature creativity into every dish. Family, friends, and food have always been at the center of Duff's life, and throughout the six half-hour episodes he shares how he prepares their favorite things to eat. Each episode is filled with delicious recipes, including Texas Chili and Sweet Southern Cornbread, as well as useful takeaways and practical time-saving tips in the kitchen, such as how to make a double duty dough that can be used for both sweet and savory mouthwatering items like Chocolate Babka and Spinach Artichoke Babka.

In the season opener, "Firehouse Chili," Duff is cooking for some local firefighters, who everyone knows love to eat well, so Duff rises to the challenge by showing off his calling card: classic, all-beef Texas Chili. Of course, it's not chili without trimmings, so Duff digs in and presents a comforting spread of Sweet Southern Cornbread and Peach Cobbler with No-Churn Ice Cream. Dish up the cozy, please!
