The Down to Earth Chef is "un-cooking" for Studio A



MILWAUKEE -- When we host chefs on Studio A, it's usually to highlight cooking or baking skills. This time around, we're "un-cooking." Chef Karen Gill, the Down To Earth Chef, explains what that's all about.

Raw Mushroom Pate 


    Marinade mushrooms in 2 tablespoons tamari and the lemon juice, for about 30 minutes.
    In a food processor, process the garlic, parsley and remaining tablespoon of tamari. Add the
    remaining ingredients and puree into a paté.

    Enjoy your paté as a dip with crudities, crackers, spread in sandwiches or lettuce/greens wraps.

    Chocolate Chia Pudding (serves 2-4)


      Combine all in a blender and process about 30 seconds, until well mixed. Scrape down sides
      and blend for another 30-60 seconds.

      Or, place all ingredients into a large Mason-style jar and shake very well for about 1 minute.

      Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before eating. Best when refrigerated for a few hours.

      Holds for up to a week in the refrigerator.
