  2. Hi Elizabeth, Just read your article in Momentum. A very appropriate topic that should be addressed more often. As a single person with M.S., I don’t cook much & don’t eat as well as I should. I am interested in trying your recipes & cooking method. Do you have a suggestion on where to get the dutch oven? I would like a 4 qt size. Some of them seem to be very heavy & also expensive. I do want to get a good one. Thanks for your help. Gail
