Capital Cooking is a series exploring the culinary and cultural riches of Washington, D.C. and is hosted by Lauren DeSantis. Capital Cooking highlights cooking traditions of regional cuisine from all areas of the country as well as international dishes. Throughout the series, DeSantis will incorporate entertaining tips into the shows, will cook with DC chefs, and will demonstrate how to make recipes with ingredients that viewers can find at local grocery stores and farmers’ markets.
DeSantis grew up in an Italian family in St. Louis, Missouri, where eating well was the key to every family gathering. She studied political science at Truman State University and afterwords received a J.D. from Duke University School of Law. Throughout her education, DeSantis honed her cooking and entertaining skills by hosting numerous dinner parties with her girlfriends. After graduating from Duke Law, Lauren married her husband, Corey Then, and moved to Washington, D.C., to begin a career as an attorney. Although her life has become increasingly hectic, she always makes time for cooking because it provides her an outlet for creativity and fun. By incorporating dishes from the hundreds of national and international cultures represented in Washington, D.C., Lauren's cooking style is continually evolving. DeSantis is also teaching “Capital Cooking Classes” at the Arlington Adult Education Center.
