  3. This Greek Lemon Chicken with Potatoes is a beloved dish in nearly every Greek household. It’s a true representation of comforting, homemade food—easy to prepare, full of flavor, and bursting with Mediterranean aromas. What makes this dish so special is its simplicity. With just a handful of ingredients, it delivers a meal that’s hearty, satisfying, and incredibly easy to prepare. Trust me, once you try this recipe, it will quickly become your go-to meal. Whether you’re cooking for your family, hosting friends, or meal-prepping for the week, this dish will never fail to impress. Pair it with a Greek salad or some crusty bread to soak up the juices, and you’ve got yourself a true taste of Greece right at home. Greek Lemon Chicken with Potatoes Ingredients: • 1 whole chicken cut into 8 pieces (with bones and skin) • 2 pounds (1 kg) potatoes, peeled and cut lengthwise into quarters • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water For the sauce (mix in a jar): • 1/3 cup (100 ml) extra virgin olive oil • Juice of 2.5 lemons • 4-5 garlic cloves, chopped • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard • 1 tbsp oregano • Salt, to taste Instructions: • Preheat your oven to 180°C (380°F). • Place the potatoes in a baking pan. Add salt and pepper to taste. • Add the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes. Drizzle the sauce from the jar evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Add the 60 ml water to the jar, swirl to collect the remaining sauce, and pour it along the side of the pan. • Sprinkle the chicken with some black pepper. • Cover the pan with a lid or parchment paper and aluminum foil. Bake at 380 Fahrenheit (180 Celsius) for 1 hour and 20 minutes. • Remove the cover and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and the skin is crispy. • During this time, baste the chicken with the juices from the pan 3-4 times to keep it moist and flavorful. • Serve warm and enjoy with a glass of @gratsiwine white wine! Perfect with a simple salad or fresh bread to soak up the delicious sauce. #greeklemonchickenandpotatoes #lemonchicken #greekcuisine🇬🇷

  1. Why is no one talking about how the way we’re cooking is making us sicker? Maybe it just hasn’t been on anyone’s radar because it’s not what people want to hear. Maybe it’s because food companies don’t want us to hear it. Either way, we’re not talking about it enough. If you’ve been following me, you’ll know that I’m always talking about why we should cook with water based cooking methods to lower our risks of chronic diseases and premature aging. I get a lot of messages from people who never knew water based cooking, like I am here with steam, could actually produce delicious, time-saving dishes. Wish I could say I invented all this but water based cooking is as old as it gets and many of my recipes are pulled from older cuisines and generational dishes from my own family. If you’ve never tried water eggs or steamed eggs before, you’re going to love this one. I said two ingredients in the video, but honestly water doesn’t even count! There are so many versions of water eggs. This is the Chinese version and I’ll actually be sharing the Japanese version (Chawanmushi) next! Ingredients: 2 Eggs Warm water (double the volume of eggs) Pinch of salt Optional toppings: sesame oil, soy sauce, sliced green onions Directions: 1. Measure the volume of the eggs you are using. Beat the eggs until smooth. 2. Add double the volume of warm water (2:1 water to eggs ratio). Add sprinkle of salt. Mix. 3. Pour mixture through a sieve into a heat-safe bowl that will fit into your steamer. Cover bowl with a heat safe plate. This recipe will make 2 bowls and you can cook them individually or together depending on the size of your steamer. 4. Steam for 10-12 minutes on low heat. 5. Remove and cut into squares, then add toppings. Enjoy! xo Dr. Michelle . . . . . . . #longevitydiet #antiagingfood #glycation #steamedegg

  2. If you want to live a long and healthy life, here’s one recipe you’ll absolutely need to learn: A really good broth. A broth like this oxtail pho, my lazy girl version of our family recipe that has been passed down for generations. I’m embarrassed to say that I never realized how much nourishment and love my mom’s pho broth held until I started researching my dissertation for my PhD years ago. My research highlighted the importance of cooking with water to slow aging. Doing so lowers the amount of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), the compounds that attach to our DNA and cells. All the evidence was there- cooking with water instead of dry heat slows the rate of total body aging- brain aging, skin aging, and even reverses some complications associated with diabetes. And it had been under my nose, literally, the whole time. This is my lazy girl’s version of my mother’s and my grandmother’s recipe for Oxtail Pho. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family has. Ingredients 2 lbs oxtail (if you have time soak for 1 hr before cooking to remove excess blood, makes a cleaner broth) Pho spices: 5-6 star anise, 1 cinnamon stick, 1-2 black cardamom 1-2Tbsp each: coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cloves 1 large onion, charred then washed 1 large ginger, charred then washed Fish sauce (or salt) Toppings: chopped cilantro and scallions, Thai basil or Italian basil, diced jalapeño (optional) 1 package of rice noodles, cooked according to directions Directions 1. Place oxtail, charred onion and ginger and spices (put into a steel tea strainer or small cheesecloth bag) into a large pot and cover with cold filtered water. 2. Bring to a boil and then lower to low/simmer for 3 hrs OR hit 45 min pressure cook in the instant pot 3. Before serving, skim the impurities and fat. 5. Season with fish sauce and salt. Some people like to balance it out with a pinch of sugar, but I skip this step. 6. Assemble your bowl with noodles and herbs. Noodle tip: If you have blood sugar sensitivity, feel free to omit the noodles altogether or swap for a low carb option like konjac noodles. 🍜 xo Dr. Michelle . . . . . . . . #longevitydiet #antiagingfood #pho #glycation

  3. Cook this way to age well. How we cook is how we age—and the secret isn’t a supplement or a superfood. It’s water. A 2025 study published in Cell Reports Medicine found that something as simple as water based cooking, that’s cooking with water—steaming, boiling, poaching—can significantly reduce harmful compounds called AGEs (advanced glycation end products). In the study, participants who adopted water-based cooking showed improvements in endothelial function, arterial stiffness, and key markers of inflammation and oxidative stress—all within weeks. These aren’t minor changes. These are the biomarkers that predict how well we age, how likely we are to develop heart disease, and how resilient our bodies are over time. You don’t need to overhaul your entire diet. You just need to rethink how you apply heat. And there’s nothing new about it. My mom and grandmas cook this way. And many people around the world do it too. We’re not catching up to science; science is catching up to us. Ingredients 1 cup rice, rinsed 1 cup English peas 1 cup dashi or water 2 eggs Bok choy flowers (or other soft leafy herbs) Shiso leaves, sliced Fresh chives, minced Chive blossoms (optional) Meyer lemon zest Salt, to taste Directions 1. Add rinsed rice and English peas to a donabe or pot with 1 cup of dashi or water. 2. Cover with a steamer rack if you have one. 3. Bring to a strong steam (about 5 minutes), then place eggs on the steamer rack. If you don’t have this setup, just put the eggs on top of the rice. 4. Steam eggs for 6 minutes. 5. Remove eggs and reduce heat to low. Cook rice for another 5 minutes. 6. Turn off heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. 7. Peel eggs and serve over the rice with herbs, zest, and a sprinkle of salt. May your light shine bright. May your days be filled with joy and health. 💕🙏🏼 Xo Dr. Michelle Citation in comments bc I’m out of room! . . . . . . . . #longevitydiet #glycation #waterbasedcooking #advancedglycationendproducts
