Stanford Introduction to Food and Health

7093 notes

Around the world, we find ourselves facing global epidemics of obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and other predominantly diet-related diseases. To address these public health crises, we urgently need to explore innovative strategies for promoting healthful eating. There is strong evidence that global increases in the consumption of heavily processed foods, coupled with cultural shifts away from the preparation of food in the home, have contributed to high rates of preventable, chronic disease. In this course, learners will be given the information and practical skills they need to begin optimizing the way they eat. This course will shift the focus away from reductionist discussions about nutrients and move, instead, towards practical discussions about real food and the environment in which we consume it. By the end of this course, learners should have the tools they need to distinguish between foods that will support their health and those that threaten it. In addition, we will present a compelling rationale for a return to simple home cooking, an integral part of our efforts to live longer, healthier lives.

Hi I'm Maya.

Welcome to my kitchen.

After two or three days of cereal for breakfast, my children usually stage

a protest and demand something better, but I'm always short of time in the mornings.

So I discovered an amazing way to make pancakes in under ten minutes,

using my blender.

It's healthy, it's quick, and it's easy.

Let me show you how.

We're going to take a few eggs and crack them right into the blender.

[MUSIC]

Without blending those, we're going to add a bit of sugar.

And you actually don't need much sugar for

these pancakes, because the sweetness is going to come from some overripe bananas.

Sometimes I see these and feel a bit guilty.

I don't know what to do with them at this stage.

This is a good use for your overripe bananas.

So we're just going to peel these and throw them in there.

You can use any kind of overripe fruit, by the way.

If you have overripe pears, cut them up and throw them in.

They'll make a great tasting pancake.

Okay, we're going to add a little bit of vanilla essence, and

now we're going to go for our first blend.

[NOISE] Okay,

now we're going to add a little bit of milk.

And this is some nice, natural almond oil.

If your children can eat nuts, this is a very healthy oil to put in their pancakes.

Pour that in, and

we're going to give it one more blend before we add our dry ingredients.

[NOISE] Okay,

I have here some gluten-free baking mix.

It's just a rice flour blend with a little bit of a raising agent in it.

If you're not gluten-free,

use regular flour and add a teaspoon of baking powder to make your pancakes rise.

And we're going to add this slowly.

So, we're not going to add it all at once,

cause we don't want our pancake batter to get too thick.

[MUSIC]

[SOUND]

Okay, looks like I still need a bit more.

[NOISE] And here we go for

our last batch.

Now I'm also going to add to these pancakes some chia seeds.

This is a nice way to add fiber to your children's breakfast, super healthy, and

doesn't taste really like anything in the pancakes,

so you might as well sneak a little bit of fiber into their breakfast.

[MUSIC]

[NOISE].

Okay, so we've blended everything in this one single blender, and now I'm going to

pour it on the pan and you'll get to see what the consistency should be like.

So, we're going to take some nice, unsalted butter and just grease our pan.

If you're going to make pancakes for breakfast use real butter.

[NOISE] And then we're going to pour this on and you'll see what it looks like.

[MUSIC]

Okay, now we're going to wait for these guys to cook on one side.

It always takes longer on the first side, and what you're watching for

is you're watching for little bubbles to appear on the surface.

That's how you know it's time to flip your pancakes.

Okay, so I think my pancakes are ready to flip.

[MUSIC]

And so what I'm going to do now is let them cook on this side

a little bit shorter than the first side.

Probably about 30 seconds to a minute is all they need on the second side.

There you have it, blender pancakes in under 10 minutes.

They're healthy for your kids because they've got chia seeds in there for

lots of extra fiber, and you can use up your over ripe fruit.

I'm Maya, thanks for joining me.

Hope to see you again soon.
