El próximo 14 de noviembre se celebrará en todo el mundo el "Día Mundial De La Diabetes" con diferentes actividades, muchas de ellas presenciales y otras vía Internet. Por un lado he leído sobre la polémica de quién debe llevar la voz cantante en cuanto a lo que debemos comer los diabéticos: ¿los médicos?, ¿los nutriólogos?, ¿los chefs?. Son tres profesionales con diferentes puntos de vista sobre lo que nos llevamos a la boca.
Los médicos saben y son los que deberían llevar el control, pero muchas veces no tienen tiempo de explicar al paciente y terminan entregando una hoja impresa con algunos pocos menús, y solo algunos de ellos remiten al paciente con el nutriólogo. Este profesionista sabe de ingredientes, cantidades y pociones, y elaboran una "dieta personalizada" en base a la información que le proporciona el médico, pero muchas veces es una dieta "fría", sin chiste, sin sabor, sin condimento. Los chefs en cambio son entrenados para elaborar platillos en base a los ingredientes que se le proporciona y hacer con ellos verdaderas "obras de arte" no solo por la vista, sino porque involucra a los otros 4 sentidos: el sonido, el gusto, el olfato, el tacto.
Por otro lado, echándole un vistazo a algunas actividades cibernéticas sobre el "Día Mundial De La Diabetes" me he dado cuenta que hay muy poca participación de "Los profesionales en la elaboración de platillos" o sea los chefs. Las diferentes asociaciones de diabéticos, e instituciones de salud hacen recomendaciones de qué comer en caso de ir a un restaurante ya que 20% de la población es diabética y la mitad de ellos no los sabe, por lo que una quinta parte de los comensales que asisten regularmente a los restaurantes son diabéticos. En algunos restaurantes hay una sección en el menú "para niños", otros traen menús "light", y solo en el menú del "CAFE La Fiesta RESTAURANTE" he visto una sección de platillos "bajos en carbohidratos".
Y es por eso que a finales del 2008 se me ha ocurrido la "Loca Idea" de entrevistar a 100 chefs, un poco sobre sus orígenes, su trayectoria, su perspectiva y su relación con la diabetes: antecedentes familiares, clientes atendidos, menús elaborados, etc. y que además dicho personaje nos obsequie una receta "apta para diabéticos"; nada sofisticado, sencilla, que las personas que cocinan para los diabéticos, ya sean mamás, esposas o los mismos diabéticos que se cocinan para si mismos o para otros diabéticos las puedan entender y hacer. No logré la meta de 100 entrevistas, pero si 80. Las entrevistas las publiqué una por día hasta terminar el 13 de Noviembre, ya que el 14 publiqué 5 resúmenes de las entrevistas.
Este año 2010 nuevamente volveré a entrevistar a otros tantos chefs y los 20 lugares que me faltaron!! Los resúmenes publicados en español de la edición 2009 para consulta son:

100 Days, 100 Chefs, 100 Recipes
Versión en Español
The next November 14 will be celebrated throughout the world the "World Diabetes Day"with different activities, some of them via the Internet. On one hand I read about the controversy of who should take the upper hand in what the diabetic should eat: the doctors?, the nutritionists?, the chefs?. These are three professionals with different points of view on what we take to our mouth.
The doctors know and they should take control, but do not have time to explain to the patient, so some doctors will only refer the patient with the nutritionist. This professional knows about ingredients, quantities and portions, and develop a “personalized diet" based on information provided by the doctor, but this diet is "cold", no joke, tasteless, no seasoning. The chefs are trained to prepare dishes based on ingredients that are provided to them, and turn those into real "art", not only in sight, but because it involves the other 4 senses: sound, taste, smell, tact.
Furthermore, looking at some cybernetic activities about the "World Diabetes Day" I have noticed that there is little participation of professionals in the preparation of dishes, that is “the chefs”. The different associations of diabetics, and health institutions make recommendations on what to eat when you go to a restaurant and that 20% of the population are diabetics, and half of them do not know, so a fifth of those clients that regularly attend the restaurants are diabetics. In some restaurants there is a section of “children's menú”, other menus bring "light food, and only in the CAFE RESTAURANT La Fiesta did I see a "low carb" section of dishes .
And that is why I happened to have the "Crazy Idea" to interview 100 chefs, with a little about its origins, its history, its perspective and its relationship with diabetes: family history, clients served, menus prepared etc. . and that this individual gave us a recipe "apt for diabetics", nothing sophisticated, simple, that people who cook for diabetics, whether mothers, wives or the same diabetics cooking for themselves or others, that diabetic could understand and do I did not achieve the goal of 100 interviews, but 80. The interviews were published daily until November 13, May 14 included summaries of the interviews.
This year 2010 I will return again to interview 100 chefs and the 20 places I missed! The summaries published in English of the 2009 edition for consultation are:
