Do you all remember the popular reality television show series where cameras would visit the homes of famous sports figures and celebrities? My favorite part of this show was always the refrigerator shot.  I loved getting a sneak peek into the lives of celebrities, right down to what they eat and drink.  Thanks to Electrolux, I had the chance to peek into the life of Electrolux spokesperson, Kelly Ripa, to see how she entertains with the help of her stylish, ingeniously designed Electrolux French Door Bottom Mount Refrigerator.  

Electrolux Perfect Temp

If you didn’t know, Kelly Ripa is a Jersey Girl (like me) and literally grew-up about 30 minutes from where I live with my family today.  She is definitely one of our best local celebrities and has not forgotten her hometown.  She actively engages with local causes and is a great supporter of a hospital in the area.  I just adore her.

In addition to her work with Electrolux and her talk show, Kelly is also a “haute hostess.”  Kelly knows the key to effortless entertaining is to prep and prepare before guests arrive.  Here, Kelly shows us how she stores the wine and prepares an assortment of cheeses in her Electrolux Perfect Temp Drawer so she is ready to go and her items are refrigerated at their ideal temperatures.    The Electrolux Perfect Temp Drawer provides ultimate control with a customizable, versatile temperature zone designed to store a variety of foods and beverages at the ideal temperature.  In this case, Kelly stores her wine at one temperature and her cheeses at another right in the same Electrolux Perfect Temp Drawer.  How cool is that?

One of the things Kelly enjoys is regularly hosting Saturday brunches at her house in the Hamptons.  Kelly often adds a beloved favorite, the Peach Melba Bellini, to her Saturday brunch menu.  Kelly’s summer seasonal artisanal cocktail is perfect for this time of year as peaches are in great abundance.  Kelly can store her (Jersey) peaches longer because the Electrolux French Door Refrigerator features the innovative Perfect Temp Drawer with Luxury-Close.  The refrigerator’s adjustable, humidity controlled Crisper Drawers keep fruits and vegetables fresher longer with self-closing drawers that provide a tighter seal to lock in freshness.
