Let's Get Crunchy with Chef Devin Alexander on Veggies

Welcome Devin

We’re joined on the Starline by bestselling author, award winning entrepreneur and celebrity chef for a decade on The Biggest Loser. However the best title in her arsenal is proud foster mom. Her latest book is an effort to help children love veggies in “The Land of Secret Superpowers: Vegetables”. We welcome Chef Devin Alexander.

Devin, let’s go Beyond the Mic. You daughter is all over your social media, cooking, and you’ve had her even using veggies as teething devices. Why was getting her to love veggies at such a young age important to you?

You’ve had such great successes in your life and also some failures. How has your daughter given you the perspective you needed through good and bad times?

Why was Michelle the perfect person to do the illustrations for your book?

How has your life changed since your car accident and how do you tackle a day differently now?
