RECIPES
from longevity cuisines |
 |
At
long last we have started creating our recipe
section, which will contain recipes from
a variety of cultures that are healthy,
easy to make, and most importantly, taste
delicious!
These
are mostly traditional recipes, which are
not often found in cookbooks, and have been
sourced from our International elderly food
habits study (which includes Greece, Sweden,
Japan and Anglo-Celtic Australians).
Why did we choose these countries? Read
an excerpt from the HEC book, to find
out!
We
will begin with
Greek cuisine, and we are fortunate
that our Managing Editor Dr. Antigone Kouris
is a Greek-Australian who co-ordinated this
study of 2000 elderly people, and who is
passionate about cooking. She will share
the knowledge and wisdom she gained from
her experience with the Greek elderly, and
her family.
We
will be introducing you to a new recipe
in our newsletter each month.If
you would like to submit a recipe for us
to try, or would like to make one of your
current recipes a bit healthier, send it
to us and we'll test it out. If we like
the recipe, we will publish it in the recipe
section along with your name.

select one of the following categories:
Please
note: In
order to encourage the intake of a wide
variety of vegetables, in line with HECs
Healthy Eating
Tips,
Dr Kouris-Blazos has adapted many traditional
recipes on this website to increase the
amount and variety of vegetables in the
recipes. All recipes have been tested in
her kitchen and judged by her family (which
includes 2 primary school age children with
fussy taste buds!).
