Local Veggie Chef Gives Tips on Grilling



Meet The Chef

Chef Veggie Cristina Carolan Vegetarian Personal ChefCristina Carolan (Chef Veggie) has a great love for food and the culinary traditions around the world. As a former Army brat with a Tennessee-bred father and Filipino mother, she has traveled the globe and enjoyed exotic food both inside and outside the home. Watching her grandmother cut veggies into small uniform pieces and carefully rolling Lumpia (Filipino spring rolls) helped her realize that making great food takes time and love. In college, she learned more about the role food plays in the environment and global economy. She is a proponent of meat-free, organic, locally grown foods and the green lifestyle.
Cristina has been a vegetarian for 10 years. After marriage, she spent a lot of time in the Hawaiian islands with her Italian food-loving husband and learned more about Ayurvedic, vegan and raw foods.
As the mother of a rambunctious 4 year old, she knows the importance of family mealtime and the wellbeing it creates for our loved ones. She hopes that she can make that easier by providing tasty and healthy meals for you to enjoy in the comfort of home.
