Chef Babette: You Won’t Believe Her Age!Â
The fourth season kicks off with a compelling first episode that promises to inspire. Â Chef Babette Davis, who has the ripped physique of a teenager, shocks everyone when it’s revealed she is 73-years young! She credits her diet, which is increasingly raw or – as she likes to call it – LIVE! Babette shares her signature raw Basil Crunch Spaghetti which uses walnuts as its “meat.” This is a superfood dish that is as flavorful as it is nutritious. Chef Babette, a beloved figure in the vegan community, owns the popular Stuff I Eat restaurant in Inglewood, California. She embodies the philosophy that healthy eating can be both satisfying and full of flavor.
In addition to Chef Babette, the episode features vegan bodybuilder and trainer Bobby Lynch, founder of Plant Strength.

Inside the Luxurious Kitchens of Vegan Innovation
One of the standout features of the new season is its breathtaking setting—a luxurious mansion in Los Angeles, complete with a state-of-the-art kitchen. The bright, airy space is more than just a backdrop; it’s a key player in the show’s narrative, underscoring the elegance and sophistication of plant-based cuisine. The sun-drenched countertops and sleek appliances exude warmth and possibility, inviting viewers to try the recipes at home and experience the same sense of adventure.
Chef to the Stars Chris Tucker
And charging into that kitchen is Chef Chris Tucker who reveals his secret tricks for transforming both TVP, texturized vegetable protein, and tofu into dishes that look decadent and extravagant but are actually wholesome and packed with protein and fiber. They’re also very inexpensive to make.
Chef Tucker has appeared on countless daytime programs such as Inside Edition, California Live, and ABC’s “On The Red Carpet.” He was featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine for Pride Month and recently provided vegan desserts for Elton John’s Oscar Party for the third year in a row. He also did the vegan desserts for Steven Tyler’s Grammy party, which was a fundraiser for Janie’s Fund. Chef Tucker has now  joined forced with Chef Babette and Dr. Shabnam Islam. This trio has launched “Harmony Wellness Consulting” where they go into restaurants, resorts, schools, retirement communities and more, helping them restructure their menus to be more plant-based.
