Last week, Amy Zavatto reviewed “Secrets of a Skinny Chef” for the Barnes and Noble Book Club.

Diet Detective Charles Stuart Platkin, star of WE tv’s series “I Want to Save Your Life” recently interviewed me as part of his series of “Health Heroes Interviews”. Platkin is one of the country’s leading nutrition and public health advocates with a nationally syndicated newspaper column.

Last week, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gretchen McKay interviewed me ahead of an event this week where I will be speaking. The interview was an opportunity to share my journey into the culinary world.

I am sure you’ve heard of Yum Sugar – their food editors round up the best food posts on the internet, and decided to feature my post on zesters. “The Skinny Chef plays zester tester – and explains when each type of zester works best.”

The editors of “Taste of Park City” magazine included my pomegranate margarita as one of their “Favorite Summer Cocktails, Mojitos, Martinis, Margs, and More!”
