Aarti Sequeira, winner of The Next Food Network Star Season 6 and former CNN producer, returned to the CNN studios on the other side of the camera for an interview. She talks with former CNN colleague Ali Velshi about her journey from journalist to Food Network star. During a period of unemployment, she kept looking for work, but also followed her passion for cooking. Her experience at CNN helped her to develop the online cooking show “Aarti Paarti,” the precursor for her new cable show.

Be sure to check out her show Aarti Party on Food Network.
