Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame Musician Isaac Hayes to Appear Live to Introduce a New Cookbook for People With Chronic Kidney Disease

HOUSTON, Jan. 20 /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, George Dolson, M.D., VA Medical Center

Local renal dietitian, Jane Louis, R.D., Renal Care Group

What: Following the death of close friend and fellow soul music legend,
Barry White, due to kidney failure, celebrity chef Isaac Hayes is
on a mission to help people with chronic kidney disease revive
their passion for good 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
puts a low-phosphorus spin on some old favorites. To order a free
cookbook, call 1-866-896-6152 or log onto
