Emeril Lagasse will be launching a new show, called “Emeril Green.” It will be for an eco lifestyle channel, Planet Green (watch for it in June).

Emeril says the show will include tips on how to cook healthy meals, from picking the best ingredients to choosing recipes that even the kids will love.

Looks like this celebrity chef is on a roll. He just sold his content assets to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for a hefty $50 million and is negotiating with Food Network for other programs.

We mean that in a good way.

This is Rachael Ray’s recipe for spiced nuts, taken from Food Network which hosts her show. If you’re making this in bulk buy nuts from the market.

Ingredients

2 cups walnut halves
1 cup peeled hazelnuts
1 cup whole unsalted cashews
1 cup whole pecan halves
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon ground anise
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, eyeball it
1 cup smoked almonds (recommended: Diamond Smokehouse almonds)

What’s Next

Toast nuts in a pan. This usually takes 7 minutes but use your nose as your judge. Transfer to a plate when done. Then, melt butter in the pan, adding your spices. Pour back the nuts. You’re done!
