Abstract
Diet and nutrition are an integral part of chronic metabolic disease management. Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) providers focus upon caloric and nutrient adequacy, but do not necessarily incorporate person-friendly recipes in their ambit. In this communication, we share a simple framework of culinary counseling. This supplements MNT, and enhances its value by encouraging adherence and persistence to prescribed therapy.
