On Tuesday July 19th, I had the great pleasure to appear on THE TALK on CBS TV.

Intelligent, insightful, funny and of course, opinionated (what woman isn’t?) are the five ladies who walk The Talk.

I was demonstrating recipes from my new cookbook, Vegan Family Meals.

Paired with Sara Gilbert, a long time vegan who is already a big fan of my restaurant and books and Leah Remini, carnivore and doubtful about liking vegan food.  Leah was a blast to work with! It is fun to play with a skeptic and see how in the end, they always like the food, the vegan food! Sandwiched between the two, it was a testament to how all kinds of eaters can come together to enjoy real food..more on this topic in a future blog titled, “It just takes a sprinkle of diplomacy to eat together”.

The other ladies, Julie, Sharon and Holly were really cool too!!!

The production staff was welcoming and helpful and the audience gave back nothing but sheer love with their interest and enthusiasm.

Here’s a partial video of my time on THE TALK.

It’s all I can say this week, as I am still flying on my high…
