Just watched a show about rock climbers where they had to feed a vegetarian and a woman who needed gluten free and one who had to avoid milk products. You might be interested to know that, as a vegetarian, I would not have been able to eat much of anything – vegetarians DO NOT EAT SEAFOOD!!! If you are “vegetarian” and eat seafood, you are “pescatarian”. Also, where were the greens? A salad would not have taken up much room and would have increased the fibre and micronutrient content of the meal.

This show is off to a great start. I particularly enjoyed the fact that the ingredients used in the makeover recipes were simple, fresh, and easy to find. Learning to use fresh herbs more effectively to provide flavour, instead of fat, will be well worth the watch.

I watched the Healthy Gourmet on Saturday and quite enjoyed it. The personalities of the Chef and the Nutritionist counterbalance each other well. I was a little uncomfortable with the “intervention” premice. However, the ‘victim’ was very good natured and receptive.
The introduction of ‘hormone balancing’ foods is not something I had seen before. I think there’s a place for this show in the crowded ‘cooking show’ market.
Thank you – Lynn, Brampton, Ontario
