The Voice of Reason

Somethin's Cookin'... in Tina’s Office

As you might guess, it’s very important to me to provide the best for my readers:  the best insight, the most credible information and the most relevant, timely news about nutrition and wellness.

To that end, I’ve decided to upgrade my blog and my website and make each a more valuable resource.

For nearly two years, I’ve been blogging, and during that time, I’ve learned a lot about both my reader base and technology.  So, taking into account what you’ve told me you’d like to learn more about - plus all the blogging best practices, new capabilities and powerful, anti-spam tools - I’ll  be switching from Word Press to Typepad on October 24th.

And what does that mean for you?  Well, you’ll have to sign-up again for The Voice of Reason RSS feed, but, most important, you’ll have a lot more features to look forward to including:

• Seasonal PDFs called What's in Tina's Fridge that are quick to download and feature easy recipes and nutrition tips;
• A link to “Tina on TV” to see my latest broadcast segments, and
• More information about nutrition trends and new science.

So, there you have it.  I wanted to give you some advance notice of the change, so when you see the newly-designed site, you know the thinking which supported the enhancements.
As always, I’ll look forward to your feedback!

Tina,
“The Gourmet Nutritionist”

At Last

One of my favorite authors, Robert Lewis Stevenson (who was also a prolific travel writer and poet), wrote a poem called Requiem.  Two verses at the very end state:

Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

It is a gorgeous poem, and taking these verses out of context is tragic, but doing so helps me make a point:  I have returned!

It’s been nearly six months since I’ve last written an entry, but lots of opportunistic things have happened in the interim:

• I’m now a free agent working on writing assignments for magazines and newspapers
• I’ve begun doing blog talk radio shows, the next being this Thursday, February 14th.  Tune in at 5:00PM eastern time to  http://www.blogtalkradio.com/chefsline.  We’ll be chatting about (what else?) dessert!
• I’m working on a nutrition and culinary-related book proposal
• I’m continuing to provide corporate and private clients with nutrition solutions for just about every need or challenge

Having transferred my blog to another sever, I’m ready to resume answering your nutrition questions, chatting about nutrition news of the day or sharing tips and hints for cooking and eating well.

I’ll look forward to hearing from you!
