3B LIFE/ (Etarlotte Ipiutt Thursday, December 4, 2003 Quick cooking Salmon burgers Provencale with tomato relish THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A "carefree” recipe from Rick Rodgers — what could be more welcome for cooks these busy, days? Rodgers, author of the pop ular “101” cookbooks series and other cookbooks, focuses his new “The Carefree Cook” (Broadway Books, 2003, $29.95) on making life easier for cooks. It promises “more than 150 hassle-free recipes for cooking every day.” However, Rodgers points out that the book is not about “cooking with less than five ingredients, or get ting dinner on the table in fifteen minutes,” although where feasible he’s kept ingredient lists short, and has identified some recipes that can be made in less than 30 minutes. There’s a place for “slow food,” too, he says, and the benefits of long, slow cooking. His recipes are mostly for weeknight-style dishes, although he points out that some could function as din ner party courses, too. His introduction, with basic information and tips, is fol lowed by a complete range of recipes, from soups through desserts. Introducing the following recipe, he explains that the fatty fiesh of salmon is per fect for grinding and grilling UNC study shows a racial split prevalent with same treatment Continued from page 1B abdomen. So to try to maintain consistency, the UNC study collected data from patients whose cancers were stiU confined to their prostates after diagnosis at five SEER cities with large minority populations. Godley said more study is needed to try to understand if the variation is genetic, dietary, if black men get lower-quality surgery and foUow-up care or if something else is causing the disparity. ‘We couldn’t adjust for quality,” he said. “We could only con trol for things like the fact that both groups actually got surgery.” Furthermore, he said, most dietary studies are looking at the effect of nutrition on the risk of prostate cancer, rather than assessing any dietary effect on cancer after it’s treated. Godley said a tendency among black men to avoid the med ical establishment might explain some of the differences in the study. “I think mistrust of the health care system is a major factor, and it can’t be overstated,” said Godley, who is both black and a physician. “There’s an Afidcan-American disbelief of physi cians, a feeling that physicians might not be telling the whole story.” The study was funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Xontrol and Prevention, the Association of Teachers of Preventive Medicine and the National Center on Minority ^Health and Health Disparities.
