A collection of internationally inspired recipes from Brigham and Women’s Hospital
Message from Kathy McManus, MS, RD, Creator and Editor-in-Chief:
It is an honor and privilege that we share with you a Brigham and Women's Department of Nutrition cookbook, World Flavors: A Global Culinary Journey. For several years, our department has discussed the best ways to extend our reach to patients after they are discharged from our hospital. We also recognized that there are many in our community interested in health and nutrition for themselves and their families.
Food is a universal language. It connects us in so many ways. Our main goal for this cookbook is to bring the best evidence-based research in a consumer-friendly way with delicious recipes to support our patients to live healthy lives. We chose 4 main areas to share nutrition information including heart health, diabetes, weight and cancer. Yet we also understand that flavor often trumps nutrition! To this end, we engaged our amazing chefs to develop recipes that are incredibly tasty, easy to prepare and nutritious.
We are so fortunate to have a culturally diverse staff in Nutrition and Food Service. Although our recipes may not be exactly what your family cooked growing up, we incorporated flavors and spices known throughout the world. Our recipes are inspired by countries and regions around the Mediterranean, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.
We hope the Brigham and Women’s Hospital's World Flavors: A Global Culinary Journey, brings you helpful information, delicious, nutritious recipes and the joy of sharing great food with your family and friends.
We are pleased to offer this cookbook free as a PDF download:
