THE AUTHOR SCOOP
If you had to boil your book's message down to one sentence, what
would it be? Good nutrition and great taste don't have to sit at
opposite ends of the table!What are you working on now? I'm working
on a second book for people undergoing cancer treatment that will
cross reference specific symptoms and cancer types with foods that
will bolster the effectiveness and outcome of their treatment.Do
you eat your vegetables? I love my veggies. Especially the stud
vegetable, broccoli! I even love my dark leafy greens, sauteed in a
bath of olive oil and garlic.Tell me something that other people
might not know about you. I'm a certified food fondler.Have any
good pet stories? Bella is my 4 year old Portuguese Water Dog. She
is the ultimate kitchen dog with an amazing nose. Currently, she
has a job-every Monday, I bring her to a clinic in San Anselmo
where she is a part of the second Canine Cancer Scent Study in the
country. A dog's olfactory senses are 800% more sensitive than
humans. A dog can smell cancerous molecules through the breath,
even before a scan can diagnose the presence of cancer in the body.
Dogs are redefining the "Pet Scan." She works for treats. Her nose
is so sensitive, that if I am making one of my regular dishes, and
I forget to add the carrots, she will take her paw and scratch my
leg to remind me.
