Chef Emeril Lagasse shows us how to go green in the kitchen on his new series Emeril Green, which premieres tonight on Discovery Channel’s Planet Green network.

Emeril Green is hosted by Chef Emeril Lagasse, helps real people solve cooking problems by utilizing fresh and organic sources of food to promote a healthier lifestyle. Many of the meals prepared on the show support sustainable fare by choosing ingredients from local sources and fair trade options.

The Planet Green series is shot mainly on location at Whole Foods Market and Lagasse works with everyday cooks who have real culinary challenges.

In tonight’s episode, Chef Emeril shows how to convince a meat lover to eat less red meat!   His guest Jill is a vegetarian but her husband loves meat…but they both love ethnic foods. Emeril whips up Chayote Ceviche and a little gnocchi with exotic mushroom ragu to get started.

Then Emeril shows Jill how to make arepas with mushrooms and cheese  and soba noodle soup with cloud ear and shitake mushrooms.  Hungry yet? Me too!

Emeril Green premieres Monday October 5 at 8pm ET on Planet Green! Check out more details on Planet Green’s website.
