    Good Food

    Vegetables

    We've been hearing since we were kids how good vegetables are, but today we'll have an optometrist explain just how good nutrition can save your eyesight. And in order to give you delicious ways to eat those vegetables, we'll talk with Debra Madison, who has just written one of the largest vegetarian cookbooks ever published. Piero Selvaggio is here too, to talk about a perfect dish for autumn, risotto, and about the new focus on Southern Italian cooking. Plus, Jonathan Gold joins us to share another Hidden Treasure; and the latest installment of the Good Food quiz.
