Vegetables are a vibrant and vital part of a healthy diet, but sometimes it's hard to get excited about steamed broccoli and raw carrots. Here to shine a bright light on the beauty of vegetables is chef extraordinaire, Ana Sortun. I recently reconnected with Ana at the Healthy Kitchens Healthy Lives Conference in California where she demonstrated techniques and strategies for cooking colorful, flavorful vegetables in a variety of ways kids love. And on today's podcast, Ana shares those culinary tips with all of you.
Ana Sortun is a James Beard Award-winning chef, a mom, and a cookbook author, and she's married to the owner of Siena Farms outside Boston, so she knows a thing or two about making vegetables appealing to kids (and adults too). Ana joins me today to dish about her recipe for Cacik, a Turkish yogurt and veggie dip, and to share her best-ever tips for cooking broccoli to perfection, making 'real' caramelized onions (be patient!), and introducing kids to new, and sometimes weird, vegetable varieties. We're also giving away a copy of Ana's newest cookbook, Soframiz, so read on for instructions on how to enter to win.
