A few days ago I participated in an interview for a radio program about Kale – purchasing kale, types of kale, and of course, tips for cooking kale. The interview will air on Saturday February 28, 2009 at 8:30 am CST in Chicago on the radio program 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life hosted by Dave Grotto, RD. You can listen to the show one of these three ways:
1. Listen live in Chicago on WYLL 8:30 am CST
2. Streaming live WYLL.com 8:30 am CST
3. Enjoy the podcast on Dave’s website
Kale guru, friend, fellow RD, Diana Dyer (visit her blog about kale) spoke with Dave about the health benefits of kale. I can’t wait to hear the program. Several of Diana’s delicious kale recipes, along with a few of my own, Quick Vegetarian Vegetable Soup and Black-Eyed Peas and Green Soup, will be posted on Dave’s website.
Incidentally, I did forget to mention, when talking to Dave, about a more convenient form of kale sold in a bag, washed, trimmed, and ready to use. On Fat Tuesday I cooked a bag of such kale with a little water, then dressed it with vinegar, sugar, and a bit of bacon – sort of a sweet and sour treatment. The color was spectacular and it made quite a tasty side dish for our Cajun Red Beans and Rice. So,when you’re shopping for kale, don’t forget the convenience of these ready-to-use bags.
