Hello, I'm Eileen Behan, your guest host this week. Welcome to my home and kitchen. In this program I'm inviting my book club friends to join me for a special dinner party. It's all part of a project called For the Love of Food. We all love food, but there's no question that we need to make better meal choices if we're going to reverse the rising trend of diet-related diseases in our culture. I'm not going to lecture my guests. I'm going to show them how to make a few simple changes to their diet and encourage them to host their own gathering, passing on the same principles. Now let's see. my guests are arriving now. |
