Jody Adams, chef/owner of Rialto restaurant in Cambridge, Mass., is a master at creating memorable Mediterranean and Italian dishes. She has also won a James Beard award for her cooking and has written a popular cookbook, In the Hands of a Chef. For her Easy Dinner, Pyramid-Style, Jody created Pan-Seared Atlantic Char over Farro with Olives and Pistachios (plus lots of delicious vegetables). If you can’t find char, use salmon or another firm-fleshed fish. The dish is easy, colorful, and leftovers are delicious too. Go to the recipe section for directions.
Brighten up your winter menu with this great, (dare I say) healthy meal!
Enjoy!!

Let’s face it. When it comes to dinner, we want it all:
I’m no different even though I’m a cookbook author with 10 books to my credit. Making dinner every night can be a drag.
Dr. Lillian Cheung, a nutritionist from the Harvard School of Public Health, loves to cook, and she knows what’s good for you. Lillian and I went to a Farmer’s Market and were inspired. Using the HSPH newly-designed Food Pyramid (you can actually understand it!), Lillian and I give different ideas for a great autumn menu.
Go to the Recipe section for
- Cantonese-style Microwave-Steamed Halibut with Scallions and Ginger
- Roasted Ratatouille with Zucchini, Eggplant, and Cherry Tomatoes (great for leftovers)
- Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- Herbal Brown Rice
For information on the newly formed HSPH Pyramid, go to the News Section.
Enjoy!

Among chefs, the name Alan Yau is synonymous with chic design and superb Asian food. His legendary restaurants, Hakkasan and Yauatcha, have both earned top honors and Michelin stars. He has extended his Hakkasan empire all over the world. (Look for the Hakkasan opening at the newly restored Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami in April.) On a trip to London, I was lucky enough to grab him for a very rare on-air interview.
Visit his restaurants if you are in London. They aren’t cheap, but worth it.
Enjoy!
