"Healthy gourmet food isn't an oxymoron, says Dr Rani Polak, a Hadassah doctor and Cordon Bleu-trained chef. He also believes you should not have to make a special meal for a diabetic child or adult.
He works at The Hadassah Medical Center, where he is the director of the Center for Healthy Living, and at Hadassah College Jerusalem, where he teaches future chefs how to cook more healthfully. Specifically how to create recipes that take into consideration the needs for those suffering from Crohn's disease, diabetes, and celiac disease.
Dr Plak, 37 enrolled in the Hebrew University- Hadassah Medical Center. Midway through his six year course of study he took one year off to travel in Australia. He involved himself in his passion for cooking and took classes at at an outpost of Le Cordon Bleu.
When he returned to medical school Dr Polak became interested in Crohn's disease. When his patients began complaining to him about their dietary restrictions he was able to combine his love of medicine and cooking. He now teaches wellness cooking classes at the Center for Healthy Living. "I'm not just interested in treating diseases," says Dr. Polak. "I want to improve the quality of everyday life for patients." How incredible the direct link between disease and nutrition. Food for thought. xo ginny
