Meatless Monday Recipe–“Cutthroat Kitchen” Vegan Ginger Snaps
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 11th, 2014 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Meatless Monday Recipe, Recipes.
Kristina Addington of Louisville took home the grand prize on the Food Network series Cutthroat Kitchen.
The vegan chef made a batch of $18,500 cookies on the show that allows chef contestants to spend money to sabotage their competitor’s cooking.
Although Addington’s original plan was thwarted when host Alton Brown snatched her ground ginger, she was able to bounce back with ease by using pickled sushi ginger instead.
“Alton Brown came over and took my ginger away, but I had already mixed my dough,” she said. “He grinned at me, grabbed the bowl and dumped it all in the trash.”
The ingredient switch did cause her to lose that particular challenge, but it didn’t prevent her from claiming victory in the end as she walked away with one of the largest winnings to date.
It’s an added bonus that she got a chance to plug the vegan diet.
“There’s no reason to give up the kinds of foods you love,” said. “It’s easy to make delicious food that’s sustainable and healthy and still maintains the tastes you love.”
