Loma Linda University Health is taking its motto, “To make man whole,” into the kitchen with a new online cooking show, “Live It: In the Kitchen.”
The series of 13 short episodes debuted at liveitlomalinda.org April 4. Every Tuesday an episode will be featured on the Loma Linda University Health Facebook page. The videos are about a minute in length.
The show inspires healthy, wholesome home cooking and demonstrates quick and easy recipes to keep people of all ages satisfied.
“People tend to turn to meals that are quick and easy to prepare, but ultimately low in nutritional value,” said Chef Cory Gheen, MS, RD, from Loma Linda University School of Allied Health Professions’ Department of Nutrition and Dietetics. “‘Live It: in the Kitchen’ aims to show that great-tasting food can be good for your body and easy to prepare.”
Additionally, each episode will have chef tips that relate to the recipe on the website, such as how to cut a bell pepper or deseed a pomegranate.
The show and recipes will also be available in Spanish.
Produced by Loma Linda University Health, “Live It: In the Kitchen” is a collaborative effort between Loma Linda University’s Schools of Allied Health Professions and Public Health as well as Loma Linda University Health’s Office of Advancement Films.
The all-vegetarian recipes were collected and adapted for the series by Chef Cory, who is professionally trained and has over 25 years of experience. Chef Cory brings a passion for food to his classroom, and, through the show, to anyone who wants to learn. He aims to raise the bar for quality, nutritionally focused cooking.
The show’s recipes include dark chocolate pomegranate bark, no-bake energy bites, carrot soup, white bean chili and avocado fettuccine.
