On the Chefs Without Restaurants podcast this week I have chef Christina Pirello of Christina Cooks. After already losing her mother to cancer, Christina was diagnosed with terminal leukemia in her mid-20s. Not wanting to undergo traditional treatment for cancer, she ultimately changed her diet and lifestyle, and her cancer went into remission. She’s been cancer-free for more than 37 years now.

Christina wanted to share what she’d learned about food and cooking, and Christina Cooks was born. She started a cooking show on PBS (and won an Emmy in her first season) and has published numerous cookbooks. While Christina maintains a vegan diet, she isn’t preachy about it.

We talked about her early days working in a professional kitchen, her journey to wellness, and how she built and grew the Christina Cooks brand.
