Summer is just around the corner and many of us are trying to improve our eating habits and shed excess weight gained by indulging in winter comfort foods. Art Smith, restaurant owner and former personal chef to Oprah Winfrey, is well known for personally losing 120-pounds that transformed both his body and his health. What is the secret to his success? His healthy cooking philosophy, adaptable to busy lifestyles, is all about keeping it simple with satisfying recipes that use only a few ingredients and minimal prep.
Art’s latest innovation in the kitchen is the brand-new Smartbowl™ that transforms weeknight cooking into a breeze through simpler meal preparation. Using high-end materials and cutting-edge technology, the Smartbowl™ helps create fast and delicious meals by using two cooking methods simultaneously: rapid heat induction in a microwave and moisture infusion with highly saturated steam. This revolutionary new cooking tool helps take the guesswork out of cooking, and what’s better, most Smartbowl™ recipes take only 10 minutes to prepare.
