Call for Recipes

The Interest Group for Integrative Medicine (IGIM) is going to be having a cooking competition in November - that means lots of good food to taste - but more on that later...

In the meantime we are also putting together a cookbook that we will be selling to raise funds for the exciting Integrate Chicago conference in January, so we need recipes! Our goal is to compile a variety of recipes from students for dishes that are delicious and nutritious. Imagine this book as a great Christmas gift for friends and family or as a resource to offer healthy recipes to patients. A few guidelines:

• We want recipes for all kinds of meals - appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, desserts, etc.
• No hydrogenated oils.
• Limit added sugars. If you have a recipe for baked goods ask yourself if you could make it any healthier - an oil substitute for less saturated fat? Honey rather than white sugar? Whole wheat flour instead of white?
• Diet-specific recipes (gluten-free, vegan, etc.) are welcome but not necessary.
• Basic healthy-eating tips or cooking substitutions are also great.
• If you have a photo of the dish, please send that too.
• If this is not an original recipe of yours, please reference the cookbook or magazine it came from.
