Q & A - DietDetective.com

Charles Stuart Platkin interviewed Jennifer Iserloh for Diet Detective, an online portal for health and fitness. Here’s a select excerpt:

Diet Detective: Hello Jennifer, thanks again for the interview. You’ve had so many great accomplishments in your career—it’s exciting. How did you get so involved with healthy cooking and nutrition? Was it an early passion? What was your motivation?

Jennifer Iserloh: I grew up in a family of food fanatics, outstanding cooks and passionate, overindulging eaters. Food is my great love and in the past has been my greatest enemy. I grew up as an overweight teenager and young adult, always fighting weight problems in the midst of a family where everyone was obese. Food has always been central in my life and when I became a chef, I realized that my passion for food could be healthy instead of problematic.

Diet Detective: Many readers believe that cooking healthy requires more attention to details, more time, and is typically bland. Is that true to a certain degree? Can you give us a few tips that we probably haven’t heard about?

Jennifer Iserloh: I don’t believe that cooking healthy is difficult. It’s more about the choices you make when you shop and get to the stove! Cooking with low-fat dairy products, like low-fat mayo and cream cheese, for example takes the same amount of time and you don’t need any special skill to make the swap. Healthy food doesn’t have to be bland either - fresh herbs, spices, and using salt correctly can make low-fat food taste incredible! My number one healthy cooking tip? Watch the fat. Until you know how to eyeball a tablespoon of oil or butter, just have a measuring spoon handy. Adding too much fat or not enough fat is the home cook’s downfall.

Diet Detective: Tell us the biggest secret that chefs typically don’t tell anyone about healthy cooking, but should?

Jennifer Iserloh: Professional chefs use lots of fresh herbs and cook with wine. Home cooks might be intimidated by cooking with wine or feel it’s too “fancy”, but using a little wine in a sauce can add major flavor without any fat at around 100 calories per cup. Fresh herbs are loaded with antioxidants, antibacterial agents, and most of all flavor. Tuck in a handful of basil for a burst of flavor in pasta sauce, on pizzas and even on a sandwich or in soups.
