Christine Cushing: Cook With Me was a 2005-2006 Canadian cooking show that incorporated a variety of recipes and discussions. The host, Christine Cushing, is accompanied by three guests who fuel conversations and help cook the meals of the day. Each episode has a special menu to go along with the themed meal, such as "Girl's Poker Night", "The Big Game", and "At the Ranch".
Cook With Me was part of the Food Network (Canada), and episodes aired every weekday at 11:30 AM, 5:00 PM ET.[1][2]
