The Heart of the Story

Season 3 Episode 308

Our hearts pump life through our bodies but we don’t take very good care of them. And yet, they fight for our lives every minute of every day. Much of our heart's distress can be linked to our kitchens, so let’s give our hearts some seriously delicious TLC. Recipes include Lentil Fritters, Avocado Hummus and Farinata.
