Gary Deng had a problem with illness. That isn’t, in itself, hugely surprising, as he is the highly respected Medical Director of Integrative Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and also a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, of Cornell University - both in New York City.
Dr. Deng’s problem with illness was unusual, since it reached beyond the remit of the hospital ward and the medical college. As he explains in his debut book, The Wellness Principles: Cooking for a Healthy Life, he had reached a point, in the early part of his career, when he noticed he “could treat patients with a chronic medical problem, make them better, and discharge them from the hospital, only for them to be readmitted for the same problem not long afterwards.
Pages from The Wellness Principles
“For example, there were patients admitted for lung illness requiring respiratory support, yet they continued to smoke after their release and fell ill again soon after,” he explains in the introduction to his new book. “There were patients admitted for a heart attack, had coronary artery stents put in, yet continued to eat buttery steaks and French fries regularly, then had another cardiac event. I felt as if we were often putting out fires, temporarily tidying up a cluttered house that still had tinder and burning candles everywhere. Without day-to-day health maintenance, the human body will deteriorate as we get older and reach one breaking point after another.”
Deng eventually chose to guide his patients towards healthier lifestyles, outlining how, when outside of a medical setting, they could still care for their bodies and minds by both eating and living healthily.
Of course, not everyone can benefit from the guidance of such an esteemed and caring medical professional, so this season Phaidon has set some of Dr. Deng’s best ideas, approaches and meal recipes down in one book.
That’s right, recipes; because Deng is not only an eminent physician, but also a dedicated home cook. He discovered the joys of food as a teenager, and later, while completing his PhD, he explored his passion for cookery in earnest. “And the more I enjoyed it, the more thought and heart I put into it, the better I became at it, and so my cooking improved,” he reveals in the book.
The recipes included in the book are the very same ones Deng serves to his own family. They aren’t part of some unusual diet, or eating fad, but are instead guided by tried-and-tested and well-proven nutritional principles.
