The Skinny On Fat

Season 2 Episode 202

Is fat healthy for us? What kind of fat should we cook with? What are good fats? Should we skip added fats? It seems so confusing, right? To fat or not to fat. Actually the answer is simple…and delicious. Recipes include tempura vegetables over soba noodles in broth, chickpeas with sage and olive oil and spicy sautéed collard greens.
