Reviews" Back to the Cutting Board is the most fun you will ever have in a cookbook!! It is filled with great recipes--of course, it's by Christina Pirello!--and it also has great tips and robust nutrition information on every page. As your guide, Christina shares her extraordinary knowledge, wisdom, and personality. Soon, you will know what makes good food really good, and Christina will make you fall in love with cooking again." --Neal D. Barnard, MD, FACC, bestselling author of Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes "Christina's magical cooking secrets are at your fingertips. Glowing health and delicious recipes aside, embark on this journey to rekindle cooking bliss a.k.a. the art of cooking! With Christina as your guide, the stress associated with tackling a meal will be alleviated and replaced with curiosity, intuition, simplicity, and play. How awesome is that?" --Alicia Silverstone, award-winning actress, bestselling author of The Kind Diet , animal rights and environmental activist, and entrepreneur "Back to the cutting board? Gladly! This wonderful new book from Christina is full of excellent ideas that will make you fall in love with cooking again. If you have drifted from the kitchen it will inspire you to get back to it. If you are new to cooking then you couldn't ask for a better 'in.' Vegan cooking is having its moment, and Christina's new book perfectly captures the spirit of what's happening in today's food world." --Rich Landau, chef/owner of The Vedge Restaurant Group, James Beard nominee, and bestselling author "There is joy in Christina's cooking. Because her food isn't just delicious and beautiful. It's also wholesome in ways that draw you in, making you simply want to eat and be better. And her recipes make that easy." --J.M. Hirsch, editorial director, Milk Street Magazine "In Back to the Cutting Board , Christina introduces the kitchen tools, gadgets, techniques, and ingredients as if they are old friends that have been patiently waiting to re-connect with us and nourish us. She shares many good reasons why it's essential that we get back inside the kitchen. And, once you're there . . . your body and mind will be deeply nourished by Christina's delicious recipes. Don't wait one more second! Open up this book, connect with your old friends (and yourself), and start cooking!" --Andrea Beaman, HHC, chef, herbalist, and author of Happy Healthy Thyroid "What Christina has written here is unlike any cookbook you've ever read. She presents a philosophy that uses the kitchen as a tool to allow you to connect with your true self. Yes, the recipes in here are delicious and can help you reclaim or optimize your health--and in Christina's case, they actually saved her life. But you will learn how to not just nourish your body, but your soul--by finding a deeper meaning in the so-called 'chore' of cooking." --Chef Robert Irvine
