Dietitian Nicole Alexander of the T&T Association of Nutritionists and Dietitians (TTANDi) paid a courtesy call on THA Chief Secretary Orville London on December 12 at the Calder Hall Administrative Complex, Scarborough.
During the meeting Alexander gave the Chief Secretary a copy of TTANDi's cookbook, Delicious and Healthy–Cooking with Caribbean Food. The 326 page cookbook was published in 2012.
The cookbook has 200 recipes that present alternatives to traditional Caribbean cooking. Recipes also encourage the use of locally produced foods while maintaining delicious flavours. In addition, there are healthy diet plans to control common lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
The TTANDi is a professional organisation of Nutritionist and Dietitians and has been a registered body since 1990.
