Christina Pirello - Christina Cooks PBS Show

I just caught part of Christina Pirello's cooking show on PBS called Christina Cooks. It seems this show is new to my PBS station, so I'm excited! She cooks some great-looking vegan food! I had read an older cookbook of hers years ago, but I had never seen her PBS show until a few days ago. I just thought I'd mention this, in case anyone else's PBS programming has changed like mine.
Here's the link to her website:

Here are links to a bunch of her recipes:

OMG OMG OMG Thank you for telling me about this Willwolf! I checked my pbs channels and it's on one of the upper level channels but I can't get it yet. I keep getting "this channel should be available shortly". >:(
There was one other show that I only got on cable but they discontinued the channel. I think she was Hawaiian...had a couple kids. The all ate vegan. Can't remember the name of the cooking show but I was totally ticked when I couldn't see it anymore.
I keep writing Food Network and my pbs stations asking them to get a veg*n cooking show on and wondering why they choose the high fat all meat shows. (Although I did really like "The 2 Fat Ladies" till one of them died :() :)
Yes, I LOVE this show! She bugs me a little but her cooking is fantastic. I had it where I used to live but my current PBS doesn't show it. Now I think I will request it. I have her book too, and I like the guy who plays guitar on the show while she cooks!
As I have every other time I've read a post about Christina, I will say, I MISS HER SHOW SO MUCH!!! My PBS doesn't air it anymore. :'(
My mom sent me a Christina Pirello cookbook when I told her I had switched to eating vegan! ;D
It has lots of good recipes, though some of the ingredients are hard to find....
I WISH her TV show was on my PBS station!
I saw her show again today. If you haven't caught Christina Cooks on your PBS station, keep looking. I have KOCE channel 50, and it's on at 12 noon, but only a couple of times a week, I think. I've seen 3 or 4 shows now, and her food looks really tasty. Soon, I'm going to try out some of the recipes from her site (links given in my original post).
Well, I get the channel now and the show is still on (Yay!) but it looks like it's only on on Thursday's at 5:30 am!! Eeeek! That's going to be a tuffy since I'm a late riser and that's my S/O's TV time.
Oh my kingdom for a Tivo! Where's a Tivo when I NEED one!! :o
Yes, Vivianne417, 12 noon isn't the best time for me, either. I think I'm getting the DVR with my satellite at my next place (which ,hopefully, will be soon!).
