Free Healthy Cooking Class Offered
This piece ran in The Birmingham News on April 18, 2007

A free cooking class which teaches participants to prevent and survive cancer through proper diet and nutrition will be held at Brookville Elementary School in Graysville on Monday.
The two hour class, ''Cancer Prevention and Survival Cooking Class,'' includes a lecture and cooking demonstration by Katherine Parham, a local cooking instructor for the nonprofit cancer prevention and education organization, The Cancer Project.

The class at Brookville Elementary will begin at 8:30 a.m. Participants will be served a nutritious breakfast which features fruits and vegetables and is loaded with cancer-fighting fiber.

Parham will guide students through preparation of tasty and easy-to-prepare recipes.
Parham has been providing cancer prevention cooking classes throughout the area for several years. She said she began teaching cooking classes after assisting her husband, Dr. Groesbeck Parham, a cancer surgeon, during his nationwide lectures about how to eat to prevent cancer.

''I would prepare meals based on my husband's lectures. Then about two-andone-half years ago, I heard about The Cancer Project, and became involved with their cooking classes,'' said Parham.

According to information from Jennifer Reilly, R.D., a senior nutritionist at The Cancer Project, ''the single easiest and best thing most of us can do to prevent cancer or its recurrence is to eat right. More than a third of all cancer deaths in this country are due to poor diet.''

To register for the free class, call Parham at 205-929-4722. For more information about The Cancer Project, visit www.CancerProject.org.
