Christina Cooks: Back to the Cutting Board
Age Like a Movie Star
Season 2
Episode 205
We have become youth-obsessed, with injections, surgery, potions and fillers to desperately hang onto our younger selves. We can end up looking like caricatures of our young faces.

Recipes include creamy white bean soup with escarole, tomato tarte tatin and sweet fruit pizza.
