The Cooking from the Heart ($20) cookbook is dedicated to Julia Tirella, BA (Education) and Gul Moorjani MBA, BSEE, PE who came forth with the idea to produce a heart healthy cookbook. Julia has a personal passion to the Florida Heart Research Institute's mission to Stop Heart Disease! She explained "As a newlywed in Boston in the 60's, my husband had a massive heart attack. The doctor told me he wouldn't last six months! We decided to move to Florida, found Dr. Richard Elias (Now Chairman of FHRI Board) and I changed my way of cooking”. Tirella's husband lived another thirty years thanks to Julia's healthy-style of cooking and lifestyle changes. Alfred Tirella passed away on March 1st, 1997. "Cooking from the Heart" is Julia's way to "give back" to Florida Heart Research Institute. Enjoy heart healthy wonderful recipes ...many from Julia's native Italy and others from around the world.
