Colorful Cooking at Home: Dr. Steven Corso & Mushroom Walnut Tacos

Описание: Medical Oncologist, Dr. Steven Corso is cooking in the kitchen this month! Together we will whip up tacos stuffed with a savory ground mushroom and walnut filling and a cool, crunchy slaw to top. All we can say is don't knock it until you taste it - this is a great way to enjoy mushrooms for the non-mushroom-lovers out there! These recipes are jam-packed with nutrients that support immune system functions, therefore allowing the body to better find and kill cancer cells, prevent tumor growth, reduce inflammation and even prevent cancer-causing substances from being absorbed into the body.
