Ten Dollar Dinners

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Yet another contested prod. I got several hits on ProQuest, but most of them were along the lines of "Melissa d'Arabian, host of Ten Dollar Dinners, to do blah blah blah." Almost none were about the show itself, save for the one Longview source I added. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:32, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

The show airs weekdays on the Food Network."  The article notes: "... said Melissa d'Arabian, whose show "Ten Dollar Dinners" reflects the frugal yet tasty philosophy that earned her the top place in season five of "The Next Food Network Star," a kind of "American Idol" for the cooking set. ... Understanding simple flavor profile and having them at the ready is a big part of "Ten Dollar Dinners," which is premised on feeding a family of four for $10 or less."  The article notes: "ut d'Arabian had a few tricks up her sleeve that helped her ace the competition and earn her her own Food series, "Ten Dollar Dinners if With Melissa d'Arabian," which is still popular three seasons later. ... So by the time she wed her French-born husband, Philippe, at age 34 and produced four daughters over the next three years, she was well prepared to switch gears from helping the House of Mouse save cash and make wise investments to making the d'Arabian house run just as smoothly - and, via "Ten Dollar Dinners," the households of her frugal fans."

In her new show, "Ten Dollar Dinners," which premiered Sunday, d'Arabian shows viewers how to make creative, tasty meals while adhering to the promise of "four people, 10 bucks, infinite possibilities." Using her own recipes and tips culled from her experience as a home cook, d'Arabian's budget-friendly meals include approachable Parisian and Moroccan menus and sophisticated upgrades for everyday fare such as chicken or pork."
