So, one of the things we try to address is moderation of everything. So, I am a huge chocoholic. I will do anything for some chocolate. So, to go on something that said, listen, you can’t have chocolate anymore. I would have to question my living for the rest now because it’d be like, where you just took my chocolate away? What else is there? So, I would definitely we never say you can’t have this, you can’t have that because it’s not realistic and it’s not sustainable. You know, we want you to have that chocolate cake. But I mean, we want you to have pieces of it a portion of it a healthy portion.

You see all these ridiculous diets, and a lot of them are just regurgitated diets from yesterday, you know, we’re going to change the name, we’re going to rebrand it, and we need to, you know, spit this out again. And I blame a lot of this on like, I call it social media university. You have a lot of people that go on social media, they cherry pick information, and then they get their doctorate in, you know, social media University, and they start putting this out to everybody. Well, I can only eat dandelions standing on one leg on Fridays, and this is the best way to get healthy is to do that. And then they promote it, promote it promote it and people actually start to believe it. So, what it does, is it makes a confused, and complicated, very, very complicated way of thinking of how to get healthy.

Alright, so you want to make sure that your heart and your mind are together to say, I know we can do this, we can definitely do this, and then start eating healthy fats. Then start eating lean protein and stay away from the fatty proteins and good carbs, you know, stay away from the white carbs. Obviously, start to have a lot of different whole grains. And one of the things that we’ve seen, when we talk about this with a lot of people is they want to do the right thing they just don’t know how to. They don’t know how to cook brown rice, they don’t know how to cook barley, they don’t know how to cook this vegetable. We did a whole program for the city of Orlando out here. And what we…one of the things that we heard time and time again, is I didn’t know what that was,

Manon Bolliger 01:51

Food has got to be outside of healing or beside healing and I think they can be combined is one of my biggest passions as well. So, I love cooking. And, I’m interested in you know, in so many different opinions about food, though the final opinion is my taste buds.

 

Chef Rich Rosado 02:16

Yeah.

 

Manon Bolliger 02:18

So welcome and what got you…what start, what came first you loving to cook? Or actually, the importance of health? How did all this happen in your life?

 

Chef Rich Rosado 02:35

I think for me, it was like a jigsaw puzzle. You know, first came, I would say the love of community and family first, you know, growing up we’re Hispanic. So, food is a huge part of our culture. So, every week, we’d have big family parties, and they would always end up in the kitchen. And my mom would cook for hours, and my grandmother would cook for hours, so I was always around there.

You know, because you really, I mean, you’re always active, you’re always exercising, and then from there getting out of there, I guess they just kind of molded together, and they didn’t really see, you know how important the role of a chef was, until I started to get my master’s degree.

And this is where it really started to develop, you know, to where it is today. So, we’re just a marriage there between, you know, my love of French and I’m classically French trained. So, obviously, I’m, like, I’m in love with food, you know, all aspects of it, I’m in love with it. So, you know, taking that and understanding that, you know, there’s little tweaks that we have to do and the little tweaks that we make, you know, when we cook, they’re not huge differences. You know, when you actually taste it, you actually taste the ingredients better. When we scale back on some things, when we don’t have so much fat in there, or so much sodium or we introduce different things in there, you know, we get to play with different flavor profiles, you actually get to taste it more than some of the traditional dishes that are just loaded with …
