Simply Healthy Cooking

We will add a new recipe to this site each month. When possible, the new recipe will relate to an article in the current issue of the WELLNESS LETTER. Each recipe contains a detailed nutritional analysis.

Most people need some help in achieving a healthy diet—that is, one that lowers the risk of heart disease and cancer and maintains a healthy weight. These recipes were developed by doctors and nutritionists at the School of Public Health at UC Berkeley in conjunction with the editors of the WELLNESS LETTER. The recipes not only help you cut fat from your diet, without losing great taste, but also help you add "antioxidants" (beta carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E) and other vitamins, minerals, and health-enhancing substances in foods.

One thing may surprise you: these recipes prove that it isn't necessary to eliminate high-fat foods, such as butter and cheese, from your diet. The key word is moderation. Though used in small quantities, such ingredients can enhance the flavor of a dish.
