Christina Cooks: Back to the Cutting Board

Age Like a Movie Star

Season 2 Episode 205

We have become youth-obsessed, with injections, surgery, potions and fillers to desperately hang onto our younger selves. We can end up looking like caricatures of our young faces. Truth is, beauty comes from the inside. It’s time to age gracefully…and naturally, as we go back to the cutting board. Recipes include creamy white bean soup with escarole, tomato tarte tatin and sweet fruit pizza.
