Welcome to COOK WITH DOC

This website is an extension of my conversations with my patients about the importance of good nutrition for their eye health- specifically in an attempt to slow down the effects of macular degeneration. The diet emphasizes vegetables and fruits high in antioxidants, fish for Omega-3, and other high quality sources of protein.

This is not only a diet beneficial for the eyes, it is good for the entire body. These are not random recipes. These are dishes I prepare for my family nightly. All of these recipes have been prepared by me and taste-tested by my family. The criteria for me are healthy ingredients, ease of preparation, and great taste. It is my pleasure to share these recipes with you. I hope you enjoy them as you cook with me.
