Firefighters Fight Fat
"Hearty Fire Station Cuisine," is a cookbook featuring dietician-approved, kitchen-tested recipes of Birmingham firefighters. The cookbooks are a project of the Good Health Program, a wellness program administered by UAB's School of Nursing and the City of Birmingham for city employees. "Firefighters have a reputation for being good cooks," says Debra Brown, M.Ed., health education coordinator with UAB's School of Nursing. "So we asked them to submit their best recipes. Simple modifications were made to make the recipes healthier, and those that still passed the taste test were added to the cookbook." Although cookbooks are not for sale, the six recipes voted best by firefighters are available online at uab.edu/news.
