The highlight of this year’s program was Applied Nutrition’s own Iron Chef low protein cooking challenge. All members of the audience with a metabolic disorder were invited into the kitchen to battle it out by creating the best low protein dishes possible.   Team Low Pro Phenoms vs. Team Low Pro Legends had 90 minutes to create two dishes graded on originality, taste, presentation, and phenylalanine content. The two groups worked diligently cutting, sautéing and creating fabulous culinary creations.

Network PKU Event & Conference, Denver, Colorado

On October 15-17th, the Network PKU Event and Conference was held in Denver, Colorado. Network PKU was a fun filled weekend designed to enhance everyone’s cooking skills and motivation to stay on diet. It stemmed from a video production created by the IMD team at Children’s Hospital of Denver. This production was conceived and produced to encourage lifelong dietary compliance for individuals with PKU. This video affords the viewer the chance to “meet” other individuals with PKU. The individuals profiled have been successful in remaining on diet or returning to diet. We hope that by listening to their personal stories, illustrated at various stages of life, will promote enthusiasm towards dietary compliance. In addition, the video attempts to demonstrate that staying on diet can be palatable with some experimentation and ingenuity in the kitchen. Finally, this video presents a glimpse of what life would be like without newborn screening and dietary treatment providing us an historical perspective of how far we have come.

This innovative conference was sponsored by Applied Nutrition Corp, and The Children’s Hospital of Denver. The event was held at Johnson & Wales University School of Culinary Arts. Individuals and families traveled from 16 different states to take part in this one of a kind event. In addition to the debut of the Network PKU video, participants attended low protein cooking workshops, taught by professional chefs from Johnson & Wales. Featured classes included tips for making easy low-protein breakfasts and delicious desserts as well as instructional sessions for preparing creative dishes with different herbs and spices.
