Video: How Healthy is Your Cooking?

From Denny: Home cooked meals are the increasing trend with today's economy. A recent university study looked at 800 home cooks who are considered the nutritional gatekeepers of the family. If the cook has problems with proper portion control and types of foods served then 75% of the family tends to follow their lead.

Types of Cooks identified:

Giving cook - very generous person other people love to be around, often so concerned about recreating that perfect dish they don't always think about health.

Healthy cook - think too much about health they often make dishes no one can stand to eat.

Innovative cook - creative thinker who loves food and loves the taste, experiments a lot with spicy foods and new cuisines, fresh foods and tries new things, the person you want to hang out with regularly.
