Happy Diabetic - Chef Robert Lewis

Introducing Chef Robert Lewis ~ The Happy Diabetic™

Chef Robert Lewis graduated from the world-renown Culinary Institute of America in 1976. When he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes twelve years later, he was sure his days of “good eating” were over. He soon came to realize that the selection of foods he could and should eat was vast and included many fabulous favorites. Thus began his motivation to create great tasting dishes that are easy to prepare. Chef Lewis will present a 1-hour interactive cooking demonstration that includes audience participation and food tastings. Chef Lewis speaks to audiences at hospitals and health fairs across the country delivering a message of hope and encouragement. His recipes celebrate great tasting food that everyone, both people with and without diabetes, can enjoy.
