Are you already dreading your New Year’s resolution to eat healthier?

Learn how to keep to your promise without giving up flavor or satisfaction when I host a heart-healthy cooking demo with Chef Pamela Keith in partnership with the American Heart Association’s Silicon Valley Chapter, 2 p.m. Jan. 14 at Macy’s Valley Fair in Santa Clara.

Keith is a classically trained chef who was culinary director of Draeger’s and helped Williams-Sonoma develop its cooking classes. She is now the owner of Burlingame’s CuisineStyle by Pamela Keith, a culinary event company that offers catering, as well as cooking parties and team-building classes. She is also the owner of the inviting Taylor’s Bay Cafe in Burlingame, named for her daughter.

Keith will show you how to grill salmon perfectly, and jazz it up with a sauce that’s bright, light and addicting.

Reps from the Heart Association will be on hand to give healthy eating tips. After all, cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 cause of death in this country. But there’s much we can do with our own diets to prevent it.

You’ll get the recipe to take home, plus some fun freebies from the Heart Association.

The free demo takes place in the culinary kitchen on the main floor of the Men’s & Home’s store.
