Author Alison Roman was featured in the episode as she showed Savannah how to make the perfect summer shortcake.

After mixing the ingredients into a bowl, Alison brought the dough onto a cutting board and started to knead it with her hands.

“You don’t want to over knead,” Alison explained, to which Savannah punned: “Don’t be kneady!”

“That’s my joke,” Alison responded back as Savannah looked over to her co-hosts sitting at an adjacent table.

The camera panned to show co-hosts Craig, 44, Al, 68, Hoda Kotb, 58, and Carson Daly, 50, all enjoying plates of food in front of them.

“Craig is rolling his eyes at me, and I don’t blame you,” Savannah said.

Al, who was seen rocking a fedora and blue suit at the end of the table, stepped in to defend Savannah.

“You own it,” he exclaimed.

Savannah thanked Al before continuing on in the segment.

COVER GIRL

While Savannah may have had some eyes rolling on-air, she recently made an exciting announcement about her career off-air.

On Friday, with some help from her co-stars, Savannah shared she’s the new cover star for Allrecipes, which, previously, has only ever had food on its covers.

Savannah, Hoda, Al, and Carson stood outside in the Today plaza to make the announcement.

Hoda told everyone: “To celebrate its 10-year anniversary, Allrecipes magazine asked Savannah to be their first-ever cover star!

“She talks about her journey as an amateur chef. She shares Vale and Charley’s favorite breakfast recipes.”

Turning to her co-host, Hoda gushed: “Look at you!”

Carson then added: “That’s amazing!”

The new cover model appeared unable to find the right words to share about the exciting news, before admitting: “No one’s more shocked than me.”

Later on her Instagram, Today Food posted pictures of her magazine spread.

The post featured a photo of the news anchor holding a plate of pancakes while smiling at the camera.

There was also a photo of the tradition-breaking cover.

The magazine’s feature will be “Start from Scratch with Savannah Guthrie,” which sounds like a beginner’s guide to cooking.

On the cover, she wore a tight-fitting orange floral top with long sleeves and a collar.

The daytime TV host was also sporting the perfect pair of blue jeans that hugged her hips.

The post read: “She may be a ‘beginner’ in the kitchen, but she’s now a professional food magazine cover star.”
