There’s nothing more comforting than those dishes that take us back to our childhood. But sweet and savory indulgences often come at a cost to our health. There may be “healthy” alternatives, but they’re just not the same, are they?
It’s a no-no to play around too much with the classics, be.group Executive Chef Bruce Oravetz said in the latest issue of be.magazine. “You don’t paint a mustache on the Mona Lisa,” he said.
That said, Oravetz and his team have come up with a series of be.group signature dishes that whisk healthy ingredients into some erstwhile favorites without compromising the flavors we grew up with. They including everything from herb-roasted chicken to the new be.group cookie, a big chewy flavorful treat that seems to have a little bit of everything in it—and we mean that in a good way.
Oravetz and chefs Dave Powers (Regents Point), Ben Root (White Sands La Jolla) and Darin Wachs (Windsor) also offered their advice on how to transform some family favorites into dishes a little less threatening to your diet with a stealthy injection of healthful ingredients.
Take a look at what the chefs had to say and some signature recipes in be.magazine.
