Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame Musician, Isaac Hayes, Unveils New Cookbook of Kidney-Friendly Recipes for People With Chronic Kidney Disease

CLEVELAND, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ --
Who: The legendary Oscar(R) and Grammy(R) award winning Isaac Hayes,
also known as Jerome "Chef" McElroy on Comedy Central's animated
hit series "South Park"

Local nephrologist, Edmond Ricanati, M.D., Professor of
Medicine, MetroHealth Medical Center, Cleveland OH

Local renal dietitian, Pamela Kent, MS, RD, Ohio Renal Care

What: Following the death of close friend and fellow legend, Barry
White, due to kidney failure, celebrity chef Isaac Hayes has
taken on a new initiative to help people with chronic kidney
disease revive their passion for food. Because diet is a key
part of managing kidney disease and an associated condition
known as hyperphosphatemia (high blood phosphorus levels), Hayes
will conduct a low phosphorus cooking demonstration for patients
and their families.

Hayes will introduce recipes from the new Kidney Friendly
Comfort Foods: A Collection of Recipes for Eating Well with
Chronic Kidney Disease, a cookbook filled with delicious and
healthy recipes that put a low-phosphorus spin on some old
favorites.

Dr. Edmond Ricanati of the MetroHealth Medical Center and Pamela
Kent, an area dietitian, will join Hayes.

This educational program is sponsored by Shire.
