Who's Blogging  |
The Cautious Eater: He always washes his hands before eating, avoids raw fish, unpasteurized cheeses and is revolted by paté.
Serve him thoroughly cooked meats, especially pork; washed and peeled vegetables only; cold food cold and hot food hot. Think food safety and avoid the exotic or unusual. Prepare raw chicken as far away as possible from the salad.

Paranoid Eater: She is obsessed with mad cow disease and panics at news reports about food-borne contamination.
Serve her organic produce only, meat and dairy products without hormones. Actually, skip the beef. When she's on the guest list, wear your meat thermometer like a necklace.
* * *
The Selective Eater: He turns green at the thought of greens and won't allow salmon in the house except as a paint color.
Stick to meat and potatoes and you should be okay.

The Comfort Food Eater: She's still cooking out of her mother's recipe box.
Feed her what she knows. Grab that recipe box and commit it to memory.
