Dietitians of Canada today launched Nutrition Month 2011 with the release of Cook! This brand new Canadian treasure is a dazzling collection of 275 satisfying recipes, 32 mouth-watering food photographs, nutrition tips and practical family cooking lessons.
Nutrition Month 2011 celebrates and showcases the food that is grown in and available in Canada - a great opportunity to put appetizing and healthy food on your table. Dietitians are committed to making it easier for Canadians to prepare meals to support good health using nutrient-rich, delicious food available across Canada.
"Cook! is the perfect resource for everyone interested in healthy cooking," says Mary Sue Waisman, Registered Dietitian, chef, author of Cook! "The recipes are as diverse as Canadians themselves and are designed for singles, couples, families and gatherings of all kinds."
Cook! is a fabulous tool that offers solutions to many everyday challenges Canadians face when trying to get healthy meals on tables amidst time pressures and varied cooking skills. In addition, the nutritional analysis that accompanies every recipe is an easy and simple way to learn more about healthy cooking and eating.
"Research clearly shows it's worth the effort to eat together," says Mary Sue Waisman, "When families eat together, generally speaking they eat better. Best of all - home cooked food tastes delicious!"
