very month, I go on local TV stations and so cooking shows and segments. But more than just menu planning goes into each segment. I also have to present what I’m cooking in an appealing way that will look good on camera and help entice viewers to want to make the same recipe. This is why when I go on television, I always go to Pier 1 Imports first.

Pier 1 always has trendy goods that are functional for what I need, but also look cute. The selection at Pier 1 is unreal. They carry everything from dinnerware and table linens, to ceiling lights and outdoor furniture. It really is my holy grail of homeware stores. Many of the items I use on TV come from Pier 1 because I can count on them to carry things that are currently in season and on trend, and that always dress up my dinner table fabulously.
