What's cooking on Hope Channel?

World renowned chef Sualua Tupolo is creating tasty food and healthy habits in Hope Channel's new cooking program Cooking Vegetarian.

With 25 years of experience in the culinary arts, Chef Sualua is committed to promote heart-healthy foods. "Healthy dishes don't need to be bland or boring. I use recipes that are simple to make, yet incredibly delicious," said Sualua. 

According to Sualua, many people are still unaware of the dangers of unhealthy eating habits. One of his goals for this new program is to inspire the use of more health promoting foods. "I hope Cooking Vegetarian will inspire viewers to use more legumes, vegetables, fruits and grains in their diet." And with his new program going around the world through Hope Channel's global broadcasts, millions will be able to benefit from solid information on how to live healthier.

Chef Sualua has literally prepared meals fit for a king. He was the lead chef for three governors of American Samoa and prepared meals for the King of Tonga, members of Parliament, heads of state, and other dignitaries. He also has held positions as Sous Chef, Chef Departie, and Chef Tournant for esteemed resorts such as Intercontinental Hotels, Hyatt Regency, Lacosta Hotel and other fine restaurants.

Audiences can tell that Chef Sualua enjoys teaching people how to cook delicious meals. His cooking programs are garnished with helpful information on the nutritional benefits of his recipes. His engaging teaching style and expertise has opened doors for him to present vegetarian cooking classes for the US House of Representatives, members of Congress and their staffers on Capital Hill, and all across the United States and the Pacific Islands. He has been the subject of numerous magazine and newspaper articles.
