Desserts LaBelle; Patti LaBelle
I initiated this project to tie into Ms. Patti’s enormously successful dessert line. I was responsible for developing the book’s 75 that related to family anecdotes.
The Oz Family Kitchen; Lisa Oz
The talented Lisa Oz is a fantastic cook as well as a television personality/producer. She and I cooked together to hone her favorite self-created recipes.
Downtime; Nadine Redzepi
For Nadine Redzepi’s first cookbook (she is the wife of Danish chef René Redzepi), I was asked to Americanize and test the recipes, as Nadine is based in Copenhagen.
Super Tuscan; Extra Virgin’s Debi Mazar & Gabriele Corcos
The charming couple behind the bestseller Extra Virgin brought me in to help them craft their second book, which talks about living (and cooking) like a Tuscan wherever you are.
Frankie Avalon’s Italian Family Cookbook
This Hollywood legend asked me to help him write a cookbook of classic Italian-American recipes to complement with his line of food products.
The Everyday Dash Diet Cookbook
Marla Heller, the top exponent of the DASH Diet, and I met at a food conference over a decade ago, and never dreamed that we would write a cookbook together one day.
Lisa Vanderpump’s SIMPLY DIVINE
I tested the tasty, British-centric recipes for this “Real Housewife of Beverly Hills.” There are more than a few “keepers” in this one!
