>> essence is at the backdrop of new orleans, you know. so i had to bring you some gumbo. >> janai: i did not know you brought food when i asked you that. >> it is from dizzy's and lil dizzy's in the oldest black neighborhood in the country. this is a recipe that has gone back four generations. >> janai: wow. >> she came here at the crack of dawn to make sure we got our gumbo. so i got the bowls. i got the food. i got the recipes. >> janai: i love it. i was just being a fat kid asking about food. i love this so much, sade. oh, my gosh, guys, back to you and before -- if you are home, if you can't be here, you can stream the highlights and the live performances all weekend long. gio, back to you guys. >> erielle: i want the gumbo. >> gio: i want the gumbo and i want a tv show with sade and janai because this is too good. love you guys. thank you so much.

skyline behind you. now, just to put this in perspective, this is such a historic race for nascar and the city, the first time in their 75-year history they've held this sort of street race. this is actually the first nascar race in chicago and what's going to make this race so special is that it's got lots of twists and turns to it. when you think of nascar you often think of those donut-sized racetracks where cars are going along those wide turns. here cars are really going to have to slow down to make the turns safely. a lot of people here don't know what's going to happen when this race begins a little bit later this afternoon. folks are coming in from all over the country, all 50 states, as well and they'll come in from different continents to see the race in the windy city. so, gio, so much to look forward to. the chainsmokers are performing later tonight and so are the black crows. gates open at 9:00 this morning. that race begins at 4:00 our time. lots to look forward to. we'll send it back to you. >> gio: absolutely. 12 turns, just incredible. thank you, christian, for that. now over to somara theodore here with a check of the holiday weekend forecast. >> somara: good morning, gio. a lot going on out there from

storms to major heat and to my friends at home, did you know heat is the number one weather-related killer in the u.s.? you have to stay really hydrate the out there today. we have heat index forecasts entire state of mississippi under an excessive heat warning. atlanta feeling like 103 degrees out there. relentless heat out west, actual air temperatures today that have prompted these heat advisories and excessive heat warning. palm springs, 116. phoenix, 112 and then a lot of this heat fueling the storms, those storms erupting in st. louis. if you're hitting the interstates you may be running into thunderstorms, damaging winds along with hail and then this shifts a little farther to the east as we head into your sunday. that's a look at the weather across frances: good morning, is getting caught today so be prepared. and then areas in the triple digits and well above average around the bay. san francisco, 73. oakland, 82. mild at the beaches in the 60's.

triple digits for our inland neighborhoods and then we hang onto the heat tomorrow. it will be cooler for the fourth of july with some fog returning to the forecast. >> erielle: now to our july book club, "save what's left," a hilarious story about a woman who moving to a small town, a beach town, looking for peace only to find herself at war with her neighbors. elizabeth castellano is the author and joins us now, elizabeth, thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> erielle: great to be with you and we hear this has gotten raves reviews, the so-called unbeach read. what was your intention behind writing it? >> i come from a small beach town and always thought it's so funny what's going on in these small towns. so my character, she's a fan of beach reads and think she's going to step into a beach read and it'll be this paradise, this beautiful setting that will save

her. and she gets there, and the fantasy sort of meets reality and the reality is that while the tourists are enjoying the beach, the locals are in windowless rooms crowded forming committees and discussing habitats and parking regulations. >> gio: the drama of a beach town. >> there's quite a bit of comedy in there too. it's a behind the scenes insider look at what's really going on. >> erielle: this focuses on a woman starting over after a broken marriage. why did you focus on this particular character? why did you think she tells the best story? >> i wish it didn't come so naturally to me to write a 60-year-old, but i think i'm just an old soul and kathleen is really me in 30 years if i had lived in kansas city and sort of was restarting. so i just -- i thought of myself in the future. >> will: our readers from our little free library community and critics are loving the book and some reviews have called it wickedly funny, clever, hilarious. so what's your background in comedy?

>> i don't have a background in comedy but have a funny family and come from a funny town and we have a lot of quirky characters, a lot of funny antics going on. so i really drew on just my life experience. >> gio: listen, that experience, especially in a beach town probably generates a lot of comedy. so there was something you learned from your arts teacher in school in high school that helped write the book. what was that? >> i took a painting class and i was working on this painting. i was going over it again and again and again and said, mr. fuller, i can't make it better. it's not getting any better and he said, here, i know what to do and took it and threw it right in the garbage can and said stretch a new canvas. i think that's a great lesson for writing. >> gio: that's what you did with this book? >> half of this book had to be thrown out and restarted. that's what my character does too. it's a fresh start, new start for her and she just decides, okay, i've learned what i've learned and now i'm moving forward. so i think that's a good lesson, stretch a new canvas. you can always start something new and change course. >> erielle: i love that lesson and love it came from your art

teacher. elizabeth castellano, thanks for joining us. "save what's left" is out and you can start reading with us this weekend. we'll have more with elizabeth on july 13th right here on "gma." >> will: coming up, more from essence fest live. janai is there. we'll be right back.

>> erielle: we are back on "gma" and our buzz pick, "american childhood," a photographic history by veteran journalist and member of our abc family todd brewster. here he is with more. >> hey there, "good morning america." it's todd brewster with my latest book called "american childhood," a photographic history that tells the story of the nation through the pictures of children and through engaging essays and posits the idea that americans invented childhood, that is, as a separate period of development. i think you'll find it very engaging and makes a good gift, "american childhood," a photographic history. >> erielle: can't wait to read it and "american childhood" is available now and keep reading along with us on "gma" and you can follow us on our instagram @gmabookclub where we just reached 100,000 followers, g. >> gio: keep on following. all right, erielle, thank you. now to staying shark smart. there's been at least 16 reported shark attacks in the

u.s. so far this year and before your family hits the beach this holiday weekend we called on captain greg metzger. he is a shark expert with the south fort natural history museum. welcome, captain. thank you so much for being here. >> thanks for having me. this is great. >> gio: let's talk about this exciting new research that you've got going on with sharks. tell me about that. >> yeah, so our shark program started with the natural history museum in 2018. the museum has been there for 34 years. it was founded by andrew saban. and one of the things that the mission of the museum is to bring natural history of the east end to the people that come to the museum and visit the museum. whether it's the forest or salt marsh or the south shore of long island which is the atlantic ocean we're looking to try to learn as much as we can about them and bring that information to the public and hopefully create stewards and allow them to protect what's going on out there. >> gio: i love you're taking the education out of the museum and getting people out there for this. we have a fun true or false game

we want to ask you. this is what people need to know before getting in the water. true or false, if you spot a school of fish it's time to quickly and calmly get out of the water. >> that would be true. and that's really the main driver for what we've been seeing in terms of the negative interactions between sharks and people. the sharks are here to feed on the very large schools of bunker and for the last few years, those schools of fish have been very, very close to the beach, which is where the beachgoers are. so if you are seeing schools of fish and if they're around you there is a very good chance that predators are there as well. sharks, dolphins, whales, osprey, so that's true. you want to get out of the water because you're probably hanging out in a buffet for these particular animals. >> gio: i learned that growing up in miami. everybody was saying that. okay, so what about when to swim. so here we go, true or false,

early morning and late evening are the best times to be in the water. >> yeah, that would be false. this is also the time when sharks are going to be utilizing that really difficult sort of lighting so there's not quite not enough light to be daylight but not enough light to be dark and your eyes are having a hard time focusing and sharks take advantage of that and they're opportunistic and want the best opportunity to catch their prey, and that's the times to be doing it. >> gio: all right. captain, thank you so much for joining us here on "gma". such good information. absolutely appreciate that. now back to somara for a check of the weather. >> somara: all great tips to keep in mind as we look at the beach season. lauderdale-by-the sea, they're getting the day started off right. the sun beautifully glistening on the water there. let's take a look at a few cities. panama city, 93 degrees for a high. i would jump in the water too. 85 degrees. atlantic city much cooler around 70. out towards the west coast, we're looking at ways to beat the heat but it's pretty chilly in the water.

santa monica, 65 degrees for a water temperature with highs near 70. that's a look at the weather across the country. let's see frances: a heat advisory today and tomorrow. temperatures above average, except at the beaches where it is close to normal in the mid 60's. we >> will: let's head to the kitchen and a brand-new cookbook out from crystelle pereira going from the bake-off tent to dishing out new recipes. take a look. we first met crystelle pereira two years ago on the 12th season of "the great british baking show" becoming a fan favorite for her blockbuster bakes and quakes wit. >> who is having a heart attack? group heart attacks, everyone. >> will: making it all the way

to the finale and now she has put together 74 recipes into a new cookbook, "flavor kitchen." >> my cooking is very much inspired by my heritage. so my family are from the south of india, and one thing i did on "the great british bake-off" i loved showcasing flavors from my heritage, whether it was chai ca cardamom. >> will: we caught up with her making a stop here in new york city putting her twist on a classic. >> these are asian-inspired spaghetti and meatballs, a nice fusion on the classic meatballs, and i think you'll love it. >> will: first it's making the meatballs flavored with five pantry staples. >> now you can obviously mix with a spoon, but with meatballs you want to mix with your hands, so you can just break a bit off, and then literally just roll it into a ball. >> will: into the oven at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.

>> don't those look so good? they're caramelized. they're sizzling, and the smell of this kitchen is second to none. look at that. look at all those juices, oh, yum. so now we're going to start frying off our saurs sauce. we've got lots of garlic. i want every bite of this dish to slap you on the face with flavor, and i found this was a perfect amount. this is the equivalent of a tomatoey spaghetti sauce but very unconventional. this will be massively influenced by flavors of asia. we're going to let that bubble and thicken, which gives us the right amount of time to make noodles. >> will: just a few minutes in boiling water and then -- >> as soon as they separate, you can chuck them into the sauce. it's exciting. oh, yum. and now you can start to see this is looking like a scene from "lady and the tramp" but

with a little twist. so easy to make, so go make them now. they make the perfect midweek dinner or a lovely centerpiece as well. cheers, everyone. >> will: oh, yeah. cheers indeed. >> erielle: she gets to eat it and we don't. that looks so good. >> will: want to get slapped around the face with flavor. thank you so much.

audiences and over its more than three decades the show becoming an epic family affair, especially for michelle waitman who has been playing double karen allen's marion ravenwood. >> i auditioned back in '89 and still doing it. we are a family here, truly a family. kevin is the godfather to my kids. i met my husband here in the show and then had children. now they are working here, which is pretty amazing. you can't do it without a great team. >> gio: the stunt spectacular springing into action five times a day, seven days a week, thanks to its incredible includes tori mccook who has been behind the scenes with the production now for 12 years. >> i get to launch special effects like the boulder. i control the plane, all the fire effects and the pyro. when you look around the theater and you see the reactions of the families of the kids who may be seeing the show for the first

time, it's a special experience. >> the india jones series are some of my favorites. >> gio: indiana jones leaving a mark on disney parks from coast to coast. from a disneyland thrill ride to something to sip on and just a few weeks ago at "the dial of destiny's" hollywood premiere, kevin and michelle invited to walk the red carpet rubbing elbows with harrison ford, the legacy of the stunt spectacular coming full circle. >> my mind goes right back to the first day, george lucas was in the audience. that was huge for me. but i wasn't just performing for george lucas, i was performing for every family. when you stop and think about something like that, it leaves a good impression. >> gio: what a great story and what a great heart.
