Healthy Harvest

The NRI's Healthy Harvest cooking demonstration this past November was a great success. NRI Executive Director Dr. Steven Zeisel joined award-winning JWU Chef Peter Reinhart and former Carolina Panther Mike Rucker to fashion a variety of foccacia and to discuss and taste the most healthful foods of the season.

During the hors d’oeuvre reception, Chef Reinhart combined extraordinary ingredients into flatbreads and Dr. Zeisel gave a running commentary on the nutritional profiles of the ingredients, each demonstrating how great taste and sound nutrition can go hand-in-hand.
