Photo: Lisa Landers\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At first glance turmeric looks a little like a decrepit carrot. But slice open its gnarled exterior and the sunburst of color you’ll discover inside is your first clue that this is no ordinary root vegetable. In fact, it’s not a root – it’s a rhizome. And the active compound responsible for its wondrous pigment – curcumin – is also what bestows turmeric with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant super powers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fragrant but bitter flavored relative of ginger, turmeric is tropical plant native to southern India and Indonesia. Relied upon in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine for thousand of years for its health benefits, turmeric has long been known to be effective in treating and preventing certain ailments. But the evidence to back up this ancient wisdom was largely anecdotal, which has kept curcumin from becoming a staple part of Western medicine. But now, thanks to promising new studies, turmeric is on the brink of being embraced as more than just a spice used to give mustard its yellow color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We now know exactly how curcumin counteracts inflammation on a molecular level,” explains \u003ca href=\"http://media.baylorhealth.com/releases/new-blood-test-detects-colon-cancer-before-it-develops/photos/ajay-goel-phd-director-of-epigenetics-and-cancer-prevention-at-baylor-research-institute\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Ajay Goel\u003c/a>, Director of Epigenetics and Cancer Prevention at the Gastrointestinal Research Center at Baylor University. “In so many diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes – inflammation is the common denominator. That’s why curcumin is being studied as a possible treatment for all of these things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goel himself has been studying curcumin for almost two decades and has witnessed its effectiveness in treating diseases such as \u003ca href=\"http://naturalmedicinejournal.com/sites/default/files/media/AjayGoelNMJ.mp3\" target=\"_blank\">rheumatoid arthritis\u003c/a>. Hundreds of research efforts are underway around globe to assess curcumin’s potential as both a complimentary treatment and preventative regimen for dozens of conditions, such as reducing cholesterol, protecting against liver diseases, dissolving blood clots, improving cognition, preventing depression and treating digestive problems, just to name a few.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although much of the research is very promising, there are a few things to bear in mind before you start sprinkling turmeric on your morning coffee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_91203\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/turmeric_powdered1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/turmeric_powdered1000.jpg\" alt=\"Fresh and powdered turmeric.

Photo: Lisa Landers\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The results of many of these studies are based on concentrated doses of curcumin, which pack much more of a punch than you would get from just adding fresh or ground turmeric to your recipes. Turmeric actually contains a very small amount curcumin; only about 3% by weight. So you would have to eat loads of turmeric – or take a curcumin supplement – to replicate the results of some of these studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people in India and others for whom turmeric is a staple part of their diet, getting plenty of curcumin into their bodies is not a problem. It’s speculated that lower rates of certain cancers and Alzheimer’s among India’s population may be linked to their copious intake of turmeric.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what about for people like me who hardly ever eat turmeric except as part of an occasional bowl of curry? While the prospect of eating turmeric spiced meals three times a day is far fetched for many westerners, I was encouraged to learn that \u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/11/141118110009.htm\" target=\"_blank\">even adding small amounts\u003c/a> curcumin to your diet on a daily basis can be effective in some cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By all means, people should add curcumin to their diets if they can,” says Goel. “If you are really trying to treat some specific condition, just adding turmeric to your diet a few times a week may not be enough, but consuming any amount of curcumin will have some benefits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ready to reap those benefits? You’ve got options. But whether you’re thinking of adding some curcumin to your diet in supplement or food form (or a combination of the two), here are a few things to consider before you do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Slow on the Uptake\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our bodies are bad at absorbing curcumin, which is another reason why high doses are administered in clinical trials.

But so far, the links to lower blood pressure and heart health have been the strongest – and one of the few benefits to pass muster in the eyes of science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was holding out for scientists to prove chocolate's aphrodisiac effect,\" Finley jokes. \"But it's the cardiovascular benefits that will probably pan out. Our findings are one more brick in the road to proving that one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Finley is talking about cocoa powder here: The stuff that has no sugar and milk in it. \"Our results don't translate to a Hershey bar,\" he says. \"But cocoa powder goes well with many foods. I put it on my oatmeal every morning with berries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cocoa powder is packed with potent antioxidants, called \u003ca href=\"http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/81/1/215S.full\">polyphenols\u003c/a>. These healthful molecules are also found in dark berries and black tea. And they're known to help the heart and possibly prevent cancer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's one major problem with many polyphenols: They're so large that they don't get absorbed into the blood. That's where the critters in your gut can help out, Finley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previous studies have found that gut bacteria like to feast on polyphenols from blackberries and tea. So Finley wanted to see what the bugs would do with the polyphenols in cocoa powder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his students passed the cocoa powder through a device that mimics the human gut. First, it treats the cocoa with enzymes like the ones in your stomach. And then the remaining material goes through an \"artificial colon.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a rather yucky way of mimicking people's lower gut,\" Finely says. \"It's just a mixture of fecal matter. We pay people $20 to give us a sample. We get a lot of graduate students to volunteer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sounds gross, but those \"donations\" are teeming with life — trillions of bacteria that see the cocoa powder as a five-star dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The microbes break down the polyphenols into smaller molecules that are more likely to make it across the gut into the blood,\" Finely says. Those compounds are the good ones that help reduce inflammation and stress in the blood vessels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the friendly bacteria don't stop there. They also feasted on the fiber in cocoa powder, Finley and his team found. \"The microbes break down the fiber into \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21266094\">short fatty chain acids\u003c/a>, which get absorbed and can have an effect on satiety,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Finley and his team have to confirm their results in real digestive tracts. \"The next step is to give people cocoa powder and see if we can find these metabolites in the blood,\" he says.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Those types of experiments are critical to figuring out exactly what's in chocolate that makes it healthy for the heart, says \u003ca href=\"http://foodscience.psu.edu/directory/jdl134\">Joshua Lambert\u003c/a>, a food scientist at Pennsylvania State University, who wasn't involved in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the big missing link right now,\" Lambert tells The Salt.

But so far, the links to lower blood pressure and heart health have been the strongest – and one of the few benefits to pass muster in the eyes of science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was holding out for scientists to prove chocolate's aphrodisiac effect,\" Finley jokes. \"But it's the cardiovascular benefits that will probably pan out. Our findings are one more brick in the road to proving that one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Finley is talking about cocoa powder here: The stuff that has no sugar and milk in it. \"Our results don't translate to a Hershey bar,\" he says. \"But cocoa powder goes well with many foods. I put it on my oatmeal every morning with berries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cocoa powder is packed with potent antioxidants, called \u003ca href=\"http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/81/1/215S.full\">polyphenols\u003c/a>. These healthful molecules are also found in dark berries and black tea. And they're known to help the heart and possibly prevent cancer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's one major problem with many polyphenols: They're so large that they don't get absorbed into the blood. That's where the critters in your gut can help out, Finley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previous studies have found that gut bacteria like to feast on polyphenols from blackberries and tea. So Finley wanted to see what the bugs would do with the polyphenols in cocoa powder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his students passed the cocoa powder through a device that mimics the human gut. First, it treats the cocoa with enzymes like the ones in your stomach. And then the remaining material goes through an \"artificial colon.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a rather yucky way of mimicking people's lower gut,\" Finely says. \"It's just a mixture of fecal matter. We pay people $20 to give us a sample. We get a lot of graduate students to volunteer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sounds gross, but those \"donations\" are teeming with life — trillions of bacteria that see the cocoa powder as a five-star dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The microbes break down the polyphenols into smaller molecules that are more likely to make it across the gut into the blood,\" Finely says. Those compounds are the good ones that help reduce inflammation and stress in the blood vessels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the friendly bacteria don't stop there. They also feasted on the fiber in cocoa powder, Finley and his team found. \"The microbes break down the fiber into \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21266094\">short fatty chain acids\u003c/a>, which get absorbed and can have an effect on satiety,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Finley and his team have to confirm their results in real digestive tracts. \"The next step is to give people cocoa powder and see if we can find these metabolites in the blood,\" he says.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Those types of experiments are critical to figuring out exactly what's in chocolate that makes it healthy for the heart, says \u003ca href=\"http://foodscience.psu.edu/directory/jdl134\">Joshua Lambert\u003c/a>, a food scientist at Pennsylvania State University, who wasn't involved in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the big missing link right now,\" Lambert tells The Salt. We know now that gut bacteria can break down cocoa into compounds that have beneficial cardiovascular effects, he says. But we don't know yet if these are the critical ones inside the blood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, I'll keep indulging my gut bacteria with a few cubes of extra dark chocolate each day.

Katz emphasizes fresh, organic, unrefined foods in each recipe.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The second reason is that the book is almost entirely gluten-free.\u003c/strong> There are a few recipes that contain gluten but most include easy substitutions for people with sensitivities. In fact, many of the recipes are also free of eggs, dairy, soy and sugar making \"The Longevity Kitchen\" a valuable resource for people with allergies and special diets.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The third and most important reason is that the food actually tastes good.\u003c/strong> I have tested recipes from every section of the book, from \u003cem>Latin Kale\u003c/em> to \u003cem>Mango Lassi\u003c/em> and they have all been delicious. I have served these dishes to friends and even to my four-year-old twins. People love them. I got so many compliments on the \u003cem>Parsley Mint Drizzle\u003c/em> that it felt like cheating; its only six ingredients in the blender after all.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As a naturopathic doctor I focus on optimal nutrition for each patient, and this often involves diet change. It is relatively easy for me to tell people what they should and shouldn’t eat. It is much harder to tell them how to prepare those foods. This book does an excellent job of bridging the gap and making healthy food accessible and flavorful. One caveat is that most of these recipes require some basic cooking skills to prepare. People who don’t already know how to \u003ca href=\"http://www.jamieshomecookingskills.com/skills-specific.php?skill=howto-videos\">chop, dice, mince or zest\u003c/a> may need to brush up before attempting them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month I had the opportunity to interview \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RebeccaKatzYum\">Rebecca Katz\u003c/a> about her new book and her philosophy on food. Excerpts from our interview are transcribed below. The content has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your previous two books, \"One Bite at a Time\" and \"The Cancer Fighting Kitchen\" were specifically targeted to cancer patients and their families and this book is targeted to the general public. I’m wondering why you made that shift?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> If I had one more person come up to me and say, “these books are great, but when are you going to write a book for the rest of us.” ...A lot of people are afraid of the word “cancer.” So even though the recipes in both of those books are yummy for everybody, number one -- people who have been through cancer and are on the other side don’t want to look at the word anymore. Number two -- there was a larger audience to reach. Many of the same rules apply when we are talking about eating for a cancer-fighting diet and eating for longevity. We are still dealing with the major chronic issues that we all face which are free radical damage, inflammation, and getting a lot of antioxidants. Nothing really changes. What changes is the way the story is told, but not the principles of eating. One of the challenges with this book, in dealing with the topic of longevity was how to grab people’s attention and make it relevant to their lives. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Absolutely, one of the things I experience in working with people with cancer is that I’ve become really passionate about prevention. You see all of the steps that led to the development of the disease and you want to help other people make changes earlier.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> There are very few things in our lives that we have control over. But one of the things we do have control over is what we put in our bodies and it can be a joyful experience. We are talking about longevity and our connection with food being one of joy. This is a book about all of the things that you can have, not simply a list about all of the things that you can’t have. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I was really interested in your list of 16 foods. I was a little surprised to see coffee, chocolate and green tea on the list. We know that all of those foods have a very strong profile of phytochemicals. But I wonder if you believe that people need some level of stimulation to be optimally healthy and happy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> Honestly it was really hard to get it down to 16. Here was my criteria, number one was the antioxidant properties, number two was some of the latest research coming out on brain health which shows that a little stimulation can go a long way. But really every recipe and every ingredient in that book could be considered on that top sixteen. So I was really looking for a blend of nutrient dense, antioxidants, phytochemicals, the right amount of stimulation and I wanted people to look at that list and be able to recognize those foods. I also think there is a psychological component -- giving people permission to indulge in some of the foods that they resonate with. Food is such an emotional issue and if you take away everything, people really get upset. When I take something away, I always have to give something back. Just because you want to eat well and be healthy doesn’t mean you should be relegated to the sidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you become a cookbook author, specifically one focusing on cancer prevention and longevity?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> I had a motivation at the very beginning. My father was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2000. I took a leave of absence and went to take care of him and I didn’t know anything about cooking for people with cancer even though I was trained chef. There was nothing out there! There was nothing. So my father was my guinea pig. Food was the platform of his life, so it was not an option not to feed him well. Then I got a wonderful opportunity (to work) at \u003ca href=\"http://www.commonweal.org/programs/cancer-help.html\">Commonweal Cancer Health Program\u003c/a>. I really believe, truly, in that connection to food and to being a nourisher -- I felt like I had found my calling. \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/one-bite-at-a-time/\">One Bite at a Time\u003c/a> came out of my experience working with people individually and \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/the-cancer-fighting-kitchen/\">The Cancer Fighting Kitchen\u003c/a> came out because there was so much new science appearing. I was now at a different level, I had gotten my masters of science in nutrition, I was witness to this evolution. I look back and think, wow what a wonderful gift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I think that is the gift that everyone is looking for in a career, being able to find the thing that you are meant to do in the world and be paid for it.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> Yes, I feel incredibly grateful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>EVENT:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nApril 5, 7:15pm: \u003ca href=\"http://www.bookpassage.com/event/rebecca-katz-longevity-kitchen\">Rebecca Katz will be signing books at Book Passage in Corte Madera\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RECIPES:\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca name=\"cauliflower\">\u003c/a>Golden Roasted Cauliflower\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Roasting cauliflower completely transforms it into a candy-like delight that yields to a gentle fork.

Delaying cooking for 5-10 minutes after cutting helps insure that heat won’t destroy these enzymes’ effectiveness. Also, the enzymes need Vitamin C to activate, which can be accomplished with a hit of lemon or lime juice. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca name=\"sweetpotato\">\u003c/a>Bella’s Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potato Salad\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is proof that exposure to vegetables expands one’s horizons, whether they have two legs or four. My 8 year old Portuguese Water dog Bella had become known around our house for her love of carrots. She literally comes running every time she hears the carrot peeler come out of the drawer. We figured ‘hmmm, that’s different for a dog,’ and played the approving parents. Well, she’s expanded her palate (or maybe she just likes orange-colored veggies). Now she’s on to sweet potatoes. No sooner do they hit the counter, than she’s dancing and singing around my feet. I quarter and square off the potatoes so she gets the ends, and she’s been known to get some serious hang time under her paws as she leaps for a toss. Seriously, Air Bud has nothing on Bella. Maybe she heard about how good sweet potatoes are for health. Their natural sweetness is perfectly balanced with high fiber content, slowing the rush of sugar into your system. That’s great for vasculature and mood. All I can say is, whenever I make this salad, Bella’s awfully happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_59380\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/BellaSweetPotato600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/BellaSweetPotato600.jpg\" alt=\"Bella’s Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potato Salad.

In fact, many of the recipes are also free of eggs, dairy, soy and sugar making \"The Longevity Kitchen\" a valuable resource for people with allergies and special diets.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The third and most important reason is that the food actually tastes good.\u003c/strong> I have tested recipes from every section of the book, from \u003cem>Latin Kale\u003c/em> to \u003cem>Mango Lassi\u003c/em> and they have all been delicious. I have served these dishes to friends and even to my four-year-old twins. People love them. I got so many compliments on the \u003cem>Parsley Mint Drizzle\u003c/em> that it felt like cheating; its only six ingredients in the blender after all.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As a naturopathic doctor I focus on optimal nutrition for each patient, and this often involves diet change. It is relatively easy for me to tell people what they should and shouldn’t eat. It is much harder to tell them how to prepare those foods. This book does an excellent job of bridging the gap and making healthy food accessible and flavorful. One caveat is that most of these recipes require some basic cooking skills to prepare. People who don’t already know how to \u003ca href=\"http://www.jamieshomecookingskills.com/skills-specific.php?skill=howto-videos\">chop, dice, mince or zest\u003c/a> may need to brush up before attempting them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month I had the opportunity to interview \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RebeccaKatzYum\">Rebecca Katz\u003c/a> about her new book and her philosophy on food. Excerpts from our interview are transcribed below. The content has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your previous two books, \"One Bite at a Time\" and \"The Cancer Fighting Kitchen\" were specifically targeted to cancer patients and their families and this book is targeted to the general public. I’m wondering why you made that shift?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> If I had one more person come up to me and say, “these books are great, but when are you going to write a book for the rest of us.” ...A lot of people are afraid of the word “cancer.” So even though the recipes in both of those books are yummy for everybody, number one -- people who have been through cancer and are on the other side don’t want to look at the word anymore. Number two -- there was a larger audience to reach. Many of the same rules apply when we are talking about eating for a cancer-fighting diet and eating for longevity. We are still dealing with the major chronic issues that we all face which are free radical damage, inflammation, and getting a lot of antioxidants. Nothing really changes. What changes is the way the story is told, but not the principles of eating. One of the challenges with this book, in dealing with the topic of longevity was how to grab people’s attention and make it relevant to their lives. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Absolutely, one of the things I experience in working with people with cancer is that I’ve become really passionate about prevention. You see all of the steps that led to the development of the disease and you want to help other people make changes earlier.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> There are very few things in our lives that we have control over. But one of the things we do have control over is what we put in our bodies and it can be a joyful experience. We are talking about longevity and our connection with food being one of joy. This is a book about all of the things that you can have, not simply a list about all of the things that you can’t have. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I was really interested in your list of 16 foods. I was a little surprised to see coffee, chocolate and green tea on the list. We know that all of those foods have a very strong profile of phytochemicals. But I wonder if you believe that people need some level of stimulation to be optimally healthy and happy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> Honestly it was really hard to get it down to 16. Here was my criteria, number one was the antioxidant properties, number two was some of the latest research coming out on brain health which shows that a little stimulation can go a long way. But really every recipe and every ingredient in that book could be considered on that top sixteen. So I was really looking for a blend of nutrient dense, antioxidants, phytochemicals, the right amount of stimulation and I wanted people to look at that list and be able to recognize those foods. I also think there is a psychological component -- giving people permission to indulge in some of the foods that they resonate with. Food is such an emotional issue and if you take away everything, people really get upset. When I take something away, I always have to give something back. Just because you want to eat well and be healthy doesn’t mean you should be relegated to the sidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you become a cookbook author, specifically one focusing on cancer prevention and longevity?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> I had a motivation at the very beginning. My father was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2000. I took a leave of absence and went to take care of him and I didn’t know anything about cooking for people with cancer even though I was trained chef. There was nothing out there! There was nothing. So my father was my guinea pig. Food was the platform of his life, so it was not an option not to feed him well. Then I got a wonderful opportunity (to work) at \u003ca href=\"http://www.commonweal.org/programs/cancer-help.html\">Commonweal Cancer Health Program\u003c/a>. I really believe, truly, in that connection to food and to being a nourisher -- I felt like I had found my calling. \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/one-bite-at-a-time/\">One Bite at a Time\u003c/a> came out of my experience working with people individually and \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/the-cancer-fighting-kitchen/\">The Cancer Fighting Kitchen\u003c/a> came out because there was so much new science appearing. I was now at a different level, I had gotten my masters of science in nutrition, I was witness to this evolution. I look back and think, wow what a wonderful gift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I think that is the gift that everyone is looking for in a career, being able to find the thing that you are meant to do in the world and be paid for it.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> Yes, I feel incredibly grateful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>EVENT:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nApril 5, 7:15pm: \u003ca href=\"http://www.bookpassage.com/event/rebecca-katz-longevity-kitchen\">Rebecca Katz will be signing books at Book Passage in Corte Madera\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RECIPES:\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca name=\"cauliflower\">\u003c/a>Golden Roasted Cauliflower\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Roasting cauliflower completely transforms it into a candy-like delight that yields to a gentle fork.

Delaying cooking for 5-10 minutes after cutting helps insure that heat won’t destroy these enzymes’ effectiveness. Also, the enzymes need Vitamin C to activate, which can be accomplished with a hit of lemon or lime juice. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca name=\"sweetpotato\">\u003c/a>Bella’s Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potato Salad\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is proof that exposure to vegetables expands one’s horizons, whether they have two legs or four. My 8 year old Portuguese Water dog Bella had become known around our house for her love of carrots. She literally comes running every time she hears the carrot peeler come out of the drawer. We figured ‘hmmm, that’s different for a dog,’ and played the approving parents. Well, she’s expanded her palate (or maybe she just likes orange-colored veggies). Now she’s on to sweet potatoes. No sooner do they hit the counter, than she’s dancing and singing around my feet. I quarter and square off the potatoes so she gets the ends, and she’s been known to get some serious hang time under her paws as she leaps for a toss. Seriously, Air Bud has nothing on Bella. Maybe she heard about how good sweet potatoes are for health. Their natural sweetness is perfectly balanced with high fiber content, slowing the rush of sugar into your system. That’s great for vasculature and mood. All I can say is, whenever I make this salad, Bella’s awfully happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_59380\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/BellaSweetPotato600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/BellaSweetPotato600.jpg\" alt=\"Bella’s Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potato Salad.
