Welcome to *SHOP AND COOK WITH THE DOC*, a monthly series dedicated to inspiring simple easy ways to healthier eating and joyful cooking. Whether you're new to plant-based meals or already exploring this lifestyle, this series is designed to provide practical guidance and delicious recipes you can recreate at home, for yourself, family, or friends.
What to Expect
Each month, Dr. Akil Taher offers an immersive experience, beginning with the selection of fresh, wholesome ingredients—either from local markets or a curated list easily found at most stores. From there, he demonstrates step-by-step how to prepare delicious, heart-healthy meals in his kitchen. This is also something Dr. Akil and his wife, Nafisa, enjoy doing together.

Why This Series Matters
Cooking and sharing meals has been a transformative journey for Dr. Akil, significantly improving his life and health. Alongside his wife, he has embraced the joy and benefits of preparing meals for family and friends. Now, he is dedicated to passing on this knowledge, simplifying the cooking process, and showing others how easy and rewarding it can be to create meals that promote wellness and vitality.
We know there are a lot of places you can watch a cooking demonstration, but here, you can cook with a practicing resurgent physician, a septuagenarian athlete, and a heart disease thriver who survived dying on the operating table and who is living better than ever after open heart surgery.
