Healthy cooking has come a long way from tofu and bean sprouts. "Christina Cooks", a half-hour series about how food affects the way people look, feel and live, demonstrates whole foods cooking without preaching, preservatives or pretense. This series, featuring popular chef and author of Cooking the Whole Foods Way, Christina Pirello, breaks the mold of the cooking show format by inviting students into the kitchen to help prepare the meal. Each episode presents a fun and practical cooking class packed with useful information. Pirello's interest in whole foods began when she was diagnosed with leukemia 14 years ago. Already a vegetarian, Pirello decided to forego conventional therapy and turned to a nutritional approach – macrobiotics. Her leukemia disappeared within an year-and-a-half, and whole foods cooking became her passion.
