Compassionate Cooking
christina cooks: back to the cutting board

Sun, May 5 9:30 A.M. NH Create (11.4)  

Compassion for all living things is a guiding principle in my life. In the kitchen, I feel a deep gratitude and respect for the blessings of abundance I experience, and I cook with that feeling in my heart for each and every meal I prepare. Compassionate cooking is cooking without harming a living thing, and it's the backbone of my Macroterranean diet. In this episode, I cook with two of my favorite people. First, we start with dessert as my good friend Fran Costigan, a renowned vegan pastry chef, shows us a tart that will satiate your sweet tooth. Then, it's off to Florence to cook with Serenella Monicchi, owner and chef of La Fate, who's known for her keen ability to cook to her guests' needs with a little help from the stars. Recipes: No-Bake Chocolate Ganache; Red Rice with Sage, Almond & Pumpkin Seed Pesto; Vegan Sausage and Pepper Sandwiches
