We extend a special invitation to all attendees to visit the Beef Booth (#1421) and meet the coauthors of The Healthy Beef Cookbook, a recently published collection of 130 lean beef recipes, nutrition tips and culinary techniques. The American Dietetic Association and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association combined their nutrition and culinary expertise to show how easy it is to bring healthy, great-tasting meals to the family table. Coauthors of the cookbook, Chef Richard Chamberlain and Betsy Hornick, MS, RD, will be at the booth to meet and greet visitors. The Healthy Beef Cookbook will be available for purchase at the ADA bookstore and at the Beef Booth.
While visiting the Beef Booth, be sure to take the protein quiz, pick up the latest information on beef nutrition, receive a free jar of spicy beef rub, and sample a delicious nutrient-rich beef recipe from the cookbook.
