Dress the Part

Mabel Coleman,MS, RD,LD dresses the part. “In my presentation to senior citizens on 5 a day, I glued a lot of artificial fruits and vegetables around a big straw hat and wore it!
Karen Jircitano, RD, made a fun grape costume by securing purple plastic plates with hot glue to a triangular piece of cardboard. She tied a ribbon through the top edge to form a loop big enough to slip over her head. Karen bought green pipe cleaners and fashioned a couple of tendrils to scatter here and there. One plate was used for the "hat" with some tendrils and green netting for leaves. It's the hat that makes the outfit--everyone says so! This is especially popular with kids.

Judy’s passion for cooking began with helping her grandmother make raisin oatmeal for breakfast. From there, she earned her first food service job at 15, was accepted to the world-famous Culinary Institute of America at 18 (where she graduated second in her class), and went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland, where she focused on pastry arts and baking. After a decade in food service for Hyatt Hotels, Judy launched Food and Health Communications to focus on flavor and health. She graduated with Summa Cum Laude distinction from Johnson and Wales University with a BS in Culinary Arts, holds a master’s degree in Food Business from the Culinary Institute of America, two art certificates from UC Berkeley Extension, and runs a food photography & motion studio where her love is creating fun recipes and content.

Judy received The Culinary Institute of America’s Pro Chef II certification, the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year. Her enthusiasm for eating nutritiously and deliciously leads her to constantly innovate and use the latest nutritional science and Dietary Guidelines to guide her creativity, from putting new twists on fajitas to adapting Italian brownies to include ingredients like toasted nuts and cooked honey. Judy’s publishing company, Food and Health Communications, is dedicated to her vision that everyone can make food that tastes as good as it is for you.
