Desserts

**For decades I enjoyed a very fulfilling career as a journalist, author and editor. Aside from my family and career, my great passion was food. In 2001 I published 150 Best Slow Cooker Recipes.** That book went on to sell over 400,000 copies and its success was a life-changing event. At that point I decided to make my hobby my career. Since then I have written 15 cookbooks, which in total have sold over a million copies. In the process of writing cookbooks, I became extremely interested in the science of nutrition and In 2006 formalized that interest with publication of The Healthy Slow Cooker, which contained an abundance of nutritional information in addition to recipes. Since then, I’ve actively followed the exciting developments occurring in the field of nutrition, including the emerging science that looks at interactions between genes, gene expression and nutrients. That interest eventually led to my most recent book, You Are What Your Grandparents Ate. If you would like to know more about me, my family and my life, click About.
