Dress the Part

Mabel Coleman,MS, RD,LD dresses the part. “In my presentation to senior citizens on 5 a day, I glued a lot of artificial fruits and vegetables around a big straw hat and wore it!
Karen Jircitano, RD, made a fun grape costume by securing purple plastic plates with hot glue to a triangular piece of cardboard. She tied a ribbon through the top edge to form a loop big enough to slip over her head. Karen bought green pipe cleaners and fashioned a couple of tendrils to scatter here and there. One plate was used for the "hat" with some tendrils and green netting for leaves. It's the hat that makes the outfit--everyone says so! This is especially popular with kids.

Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII discovered her love of cooking at her grandmother's side, stirring raisin oatmeal on a Saturday morning. By 15 she had her first food service job. At 18 she was accepted to the Culinary Institute of America, where she graduated second in her class, then went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland to study pastry arts and baking. A decade with Hyatt Hotels followed before she founded Food and Health Communications with a single conviction: food that is good for you should taste extraordinary.

Judy holds a Master of Professional Studies in Food Business from the Culinary Institute of America, a Bachelor of Science in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University (Summa Cum Laude), two art certificates from UC Berkeley Extension, and the CIA's Pro Chef II certification. She has earned the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year award.

Today she develops every recipe on this site, shoots and styles food through her food photography and motion studio, and publishes nutrition education materials for dietitians, schools, extension offices, and health professionals through nutritioneducationstore.com. She uses the latest nutritional science and Dietary Guidelines to drive her creativity — whether that means a new twist on fajitas or Italian brownies made with toasted nuts and cooked honey. Her mission has never changed: help everyone make food that tastes as good as it is for them.
