About the Author

Chef and world-traveler, Yvonne Stephens, graduate of the Art Institute of Philadelphia in Culinary Science, was born in the Netherlands, and as a true Dutch woman, traveled all over the world; to Latin America, Asia, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and most countries in Europe.

Yvonne knows that losing weight is a frustrating problem for people, and keeping it off is even worse. She conquered the eating disorder bulimia and has tried every diet possible, even the "prison diet": bread and water. She has been yo-yoing—losing and gaining weight—for years, so she has learned the real reason why diets do not work: you are starving your body for something "needed." Most diets tell you to cut out nutrients, which your body needs, and this creates cravings.

As a former fitness instructor, she learned that an active lifestyle combined with healthy eating is the only way to lose weight, and keep it off. Healthy eating doesn’t mean that you have to eat like a rabbit, or eliminate bread, rice and pasta for the rest of your life.

More About the Author

I am 48. My 3 musketeers are: my sweet, handsome husband John, my son Michael 22 year old son, and my dog Trigger.
I love to travel and try out the different foods. I like fitness and my apple computer. I like to read Barbara Cartland books, because I am romantic and like happy endings. I love walking my dog and hiking, biking and cross country skiing.
I love the friends that are close to me, I hate 'plastic' people, and sometimes hate myself for not seeing how 'plastic' someone is, till I already wasted time with them. I love life.

I really don't enjoy cooking but this book makes the effort an adventure. I've shared the joys of this book with my Weight Watchers group and we are all excited about the new flavors and combinations we are discovering - and in a healthy mix, too. I especially like having the ingredients/shopping list for each recipe. That's a very nice touch.

This cookbook is filled with useful information. One page lists the spices associated with each of many cultures, which enables the cook to produce a recognizable 'dish' out of the ingredients on hand, just by the use of the right herbs. There are culinary terms, knife cuts, descriptions and photos of every conceivable chili, various stocks with their ingredients, smoking temps of various oils, a section on useful cookware, and too much more to list, and all that is in addition to the reason I bought it, info on the glycemic index. I took it to work and started an Amazon blitz. And the meals really are only 7 minutes! It was a valuable addition to my kitchen shelf!
