Chloe Coscarelli is a vegan rock star and best-selling cookbook author who first earned nationwide attention after winning the Food Network's reality-competition series “Cupcake Wars”, as the first plant-based chef to win a culinary competition on national television. Her recipes are the best. Her restaurant is the best. Her cookbooks (four so far) are the best. Chloe is sweet and adorable and kind, she looks like a Disney fairy tale princess, and this Sunday happens to be Chloe's birthday. So Live and Let Livingston is inviting everyone to visit her website, chefchloe.com, and bring one of her fast, delicious recipes to this potluck. The monthly Live and Let Livingston Vegan Food Potluck will take place at the Park County Senior Center, 206 South Main Street, on Sunday, October 14 at 4:30pm. The (always optional) theme this month will be Chef Chloe’s birthday, and the recipe demo this time will be Chloe’s Carbonara Sauce. Everyone is welcome; tourists and the veg-curious alike. Attendees don’t have to be vegan - but the food does. Potluck attendees are asked to bring a friend and a100% plant-based dish free of flesh, eggs, animal-derived dairy, honey, and gelatin. For the benefit of those with food allergies, attendees should bring their recipe or a list of all ingredients used. The theme is always optional, and those who don't want to cook can bring something to drink. Live and Let Livingston meets on the second Sunday of every month, at 4:30pm. Delicious food, educational resources, and recipes are shared with those who care about their health, the planet, and most of all, the animals. Plates, cups, utensils, napkins, and warming trays are provided, along with hot tea, coffee, and non-dairy creamers. Anywhere from 2-4 dozen people attend and there are usually several gluten-free and raw dishes offered, along with the inevitable… cupcakes!
