New Vegan Cooking Show

A new all-veg cooking show will be premiering tomorrow on local public broadcast stations around the country. The Jazzy Vegetarian, hosted by Laura Theodore, a New Jersey cook and soon-to-be cookbook author, aims to show both veg and omnivorous food connoisseurs alike how easy, enjoyable, and sophisticated vegan cuisine can be. The show will demonstrate how to make dishes such as zucchini lasagna, crispy portobello steaks, and raspberry maple tofu whip. Thirteen episodes of the program have already been filmed, and the show has been picked up by more than 130 stations—about 70 percent of the public-television market. Theodore’s book—a companion to the show—is also scheduled to be released in October.
