Learn to Cook Delicious, Healthy Food, Tuesday, April 22, at the Ashland Library

The Ashland Film & Documentary Series presents "Made-Easy Cooking with John and Mary McDougall," Tuesday, April 22, 7 pm, Ashland Library, 66 Front St.

The McDougall Program diet is based around “comfort foods,” like pastas, potatoes, beans and vegetables. The diet promises weight loss without ever being hungry. In this presentation, Mary demonstrates several breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes, including: Overnight Oatmeal, Your Kids Will Love These Pancakes, Fabulous French Toast, Sandwiches with Eggless Salad and Mexi Soup, Confetti Rice, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, Bean Burritos and Tofu Tacos. Mary’s demos are interspersed with important health questions answered by John McDougall, M.D., including, Where to get protein and calcium? Are dairy products harmful? Is soy a health food? Should I drink beer and wine? Is there a non-drug cure for depression? Why is tea a better choice than coffee? Is there a connection between aluminum and Alzheimer’s Disease?

Dr. John McDougall is a board-certified internist, author of 11 national best-selling books, and medical director of the one-day, live-in McDougall Program in Santa Rosa, CA. Mary McDougall is a nurse, educator, co-author of nine national best-selling books and creator of over 2,500 recipes.
