Chef Braux is interviewed on Fox News Austin

April 23, 2010

The Fox News interview was a new an interesting experience. It was remote and I was speaking to a camera, which I’m not used to. Strange. After a rocky start, I found my footing and just when I thought I was rocking and rolling, it was over. About 3 minutes. Thank you Curah  Beard and Marla Camp for your recommendations. Alain

Another incisive review by George Wolf

How to Lower Your Cholesterol With French Gourmet Food at

http://bookreviewdude.blogspot.com/

Well well – another POD book I like. Here goes.

Alain Braux’s work is a reference book, a meal planning resource, and a cook book – all under one roof. With a friendly and charming writing style, this experienced and trained chef delivers what North America’s cooks, restaurants, and school cafeterias *should* be delivering, but don’t: a completely healthy and tasty alternative for our over-weight culture.

His research is in-depth and thorough. His presentation style makes it easy to absorb, even for this dude with ADD. I enjoyed the meal suggestions, and weekly planning guide… it takes the theory to a very practical level we can all apply.

Did you know that there are now more people in the world croaking from diseases caused by obesity than by starvation? Alain is in the front lines of those doing battle for the health of the world. Charge on, mon ami!

A definite must-have for anyone who loves cooking, and needs a nudge in the right direction if their wasteline – and cholesterol numbers – are a little too high.

Five stars Alain – good job.

Wolfy
