Martha Lectures for Novartis in Greenwich, CT.
This week I had the pleasure of lecturing with Dr. George Bakris and Chef Rick Tramonte in Greenwich, CT at The Delamar at Greenwich Harbor. Check this place out! The program was called Recipes for Hypertension Management and was sponsored by Novartis. We did similar programs last year in Chicago and NYC and earlier this year in Detroit. The night was a great success. It was a beautiful night, the program was well attended and included a cocktail hour (with the largest shrimp I have ever seen!) and a delicious dinner.
I lectured on dietary and lifestyle modifications to manage hypertension, focusing on:
1. weight control
2. the Dash diet
3. limiting sodium
4. regular exercise
5. limiting alcohol to one drink a day for women and two a day for men.
Dr. Bakris, who is very knowledgable and highly entertaining, spoke about medical management of hypertension. And last, but certainly not least, Chef Tramonto did a cooking demonstration. He made a delicious and healthy halibut with cucumber, lime and green grapes. He also made a baby beet salad with parsley and mint vinaigrette and a tuscan pansella. All of his 
recipes took less than 5 minutes each to make. Chef Tramonto likes to use a lot of citrus and flavored vinegars in his cooking. He shows how food can be made flavorful without a lot of sodium and fat. Check out his recipes below: (Pic is of me and Chef Rick)
