"I must salt everything I eat!" "My food does not have enough flavor if I don't add salt." "Salt tastes so good!" These are comments often heard from those that have heart disease or are following a heart healthy diet. Instead of trying to make them limit the amount of salt in their diets with traditional health-related scare tactics, Chef Janet and Christina Weber, MS, RD team up at EHM - Brecon Village to provide clients with simple cooking demos. The demos provide a simple, flavorful meal rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. In addition to the healthy recipe, Christina touches on the health benefits of the recipe combined with other lifestyle modifications.
Clients at EHM-BV benefit from the 45 minute session, often requesting the recipes to appear on the menu regularly, requesting RD consults following the sessions, sharing recipes with family/friends, and utilizing tips learned in the sessions to prepare snacks between meals. The session this month focused on the benefits of herbs and spices, with celebrity Chef Bal-inspired recipe: Zucchini with cilantro and coconut sauce. Many clients mentioned enjoying the recipe without added salt!
