We know that changing culinary lifestyles can be difficult. Healthy foods can seem extremely bland to clients that are accustomed to fat, sugar and other additives. Clients frequently ask how to make their “healthy” food taste good. It is often difficult to take medical nutrition therapy information and translate it into practical kitchen knowledge. One of the best options is to introduce clients to more spices and herbs. They make foods taste better without adding unwanted sugar, fat, salt, calories, and preservatives.
In this webinar, a dietitian and chef work in collaboration to provide practical strategies that RDs can use to help clients prepare food quickly and healthfully, along with kitchen techniques that can be easily adapted by clients.
The live version of this webinar was presented by Shayna Komar, RD, LD, and Chef Nancy Waldeck on Wednesday, March 1, 2017, from 2-3 pm EST. This recorded version is approved for one hour of continuing education credit. RDs should list code 175 for this activity type.
