My Greek Table with Diane Kochilas

Hippocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." Diane embraces this philosophy, focusing on food as the foundation for health. The concept of food as medicine and the use of key Greek ingredients—like olive oil, herbs, nuts, and vegetables—promote good health. Diane also shares three simple, healthy recipes and chats with Dr. William Li, author of "Eat to Beat Disease."

How do you achieve a diet where plant-based foods outweigh meat? How do you take a meat-centric plate and shift things around so that vegetables take up the prominent place and meat plays a secondary role? Diane and her son Yiorgos explore the geography of the dinner plate by recreating classic Greek recipes for meat with, well, less of it!

Learn how to shop, clean and cook greens and use them in myriad dishes that are easy and accessible. Diane heads to the garden of her cousin Marika, 96 years old and going strong! She shows Diane her fruit and vegetable garden, which could just be the key to her longevity. In her kitchen, Diane cooks up a green storm and sips a surprising elixir from cooking up a pot of greens.
