Food & Life Culinary Institute and Harvard team up

NPR's "Morning Edition" featured a segment this morning about an interesting collaboration between the Culinary Institute of America and Harvard Medical School. The two recently held a joint conference devoted to healthy cooking.
"Intention is the driver of all behavioral change," says Dr. David Eisenberg of Harvard Medical School, who initiated the collaboration with the Culinary Institute of America a few years ago. He says healthy and delicious go naturally together — but sometimes people need a little education and help. Doctors can be leaders in this area, he says.Many of the physicians attending the Culinary Institute/ Harvard conference say they want to spend more time focusing on diet, lifestyle and disease prevention in their practices. Patients, they say, are hungry for concrete advice.
I was a bit repulsed to learn one dish was made from canned salmon and frozen spinach, but I do like those fried salmon patties served at soul-food restaurants. Somehow, I'm guessing Harvard's version is less ... fried.
