Ask Jack: BBQ and picnic foods | S3E17

Welcome to Ask Jack, featuring the prodigious culinary talents of professional holistic chef Jack McNulty answering food-related questions generated by you, our community.

In this episode, we dig into some topical questions about foods and activities that are part of every summer culinary package, and Jack makes sure to advise you on how to make sure they align with the Overcoming MS diet pillar and still taste great. Given how central a role grilling and BBQing plays in summer eating, we focus on understanding the growing segment of meat replacers and how they fit into the Overcoming MS lifestyle, plus addressing summer cooking ideas and techniques.
