Healthful Meals? There’s An App For That

After years of working as medical educator, food writer, nutrition expert, and yes, psychiatrist, Deborah Chud found a better way to impart information, at least information about healthful food. With help from six Boston University students, Chud launched Trufflehead, a healthy cooking app for iPhones and iPads with more than 260 recipes. BU Today reports on the remarkable app, which has 170 slideshows, in which Chud demonstrates how to strain, mince, seed, chop, slice, trim, and cube, among other techniques.  Wait, there’s more: a companion website includes a featured recipe from the app, a “tour” of ingredients and equipment, a section for questions and answers, and blogs written by foodies, dietitians, and nutritionists. And more: like Chud’s own cooking blog, A Doctor’s Kitchen. Much to choose from.  Get the Trufflehead app here.
