Dr. David Eisenberg is a visionary. Son and grandson of a baker, he breathed life into an international movement of Teaching Kitchens, hands-on kitchens where doctors and other health professionals could learn about why food matters. On the eve of a major conference of The Teaching Kitchen Collaborative, he talks to us about food, about his experience as the first US medical student in China, and about why he never wavered from his lifelong twin passions for bringing food and health into the medical mainstream.
