The Weekly Pick – Cookus Interruptus

This is a really silly, but totally informative cooking show online from Cynthia Lair, the author of a great cookbook, Feeding the Whole Family. “How to cook fresh local organic whole foods despite life’s interruptions” is exactly what I need! The short instructional videos are fun (and funny!) and the food quickly comes together while life happens around Cynthia, her “husband,” Steve and their “daughter,” Jane.

She provides full meal menus on the website, both meat and vegetarian options, and I know from her cookbook that they will be healthy AND full of flavor. Fresh, local, organic and whole, how could it not be full of flavor?

It looks like Cynthia has started a blog, the videos are available on YouTube, and you can also see video bios about the “family” on the website. It’s like watching your favorite soap opera, but learning something sustainable and healthy along the way. I’ve never gotten so smart watching a soap opera before (not that I would ever watch Passions or anything!).
