The Secrets of a Healthy Cook: How to Tell Nutrition Facts from Nutrition Fiction
Wednesday, November 14 11:30-12:30 AM – SPEAKER SERIES (LECTURE HALL)
Eating a healthy diet should be simple but nutrition news can make your head spin. Let’s clear up the confusion. Combining what nutritionists know about healthy diet with what chefs know about a delicious meal, Kate will help you learn how to put a healthy and delicious meal on the table every night. Eating healthy food that doesn’t taste great is impossible to sustain; let’s be honest: life’s too short not to enjoy great food.
Kate Sherwood is the culinary director and executive chef of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) in Washington, DC. She writes The Healthy Cook recipe page for CSPI’s monthly publication, Nutrition Action, and is the publication’s culinary editor.

Her deep understanding of so many cuisines helps explain why her dishes are intensely flavored without the need for excess salt.
