Northern Louisiana Medical Center (NLMC) makes it easy to cook healthier foods that are low-calorie, lower in fat and full of flavor. Instead of simply telling our community to eat better, we’re showing everyone how to make their favorite dishes healthier in a web series called The Health eCooking™ Show. NLMC posts dozens of Health eCooking recipes and cooking videos online. We will add more delicious recipes and videos every month.
Click here to see this month's recipes.
Health eCooking™ is part of the hospital’s free Healthy Woman membership program, but everyone can use it, especially people who want to eat better, lose weight or find foods that help them manage diabetes or heart disease.
“Cooking shows are popular on television. They’re even better on the web because you can slow the program down, back it up, even print the ingredient list,” says Elizabeth Turnley, NLMC Marketing Director. “It’s easy to cook healthier foods when you watch a chef prepare a low-fat pasta dish or make a dessert for someone with diabetes.”
The Health eCooking™ Show video on the Internet features step-by-step cooking instructions. A professional chef shows how to make healthy versions of America’s favorite dishes, such as fresh tomato pasta, chicken casserole and meatloaf. All recipes are approved by registered hospital dietitians.
Healthcare publisher Baldwin Publishing (www.BaldwinPublishing.com) in Lambertville, NJ, produces The Health eCooking™ Show for NLMC.
