PATTY RADEMACHER
has 25 years of professional culinary experience on her resume as a caterer, cooking instructor and food product demonstrator -- not to mention routinely preparing sumptuous meals for friends and family at her Newtown, Connecticut home. A health issue in her family, however, required her to rethink her entire methodology -- to reduce saturated fats in the daily diet, maintain the flavor of the foods and introduce a new eating life style. During the course of her research and efforts to transform the family's familiar favorite high-fat foods into lower-fat versions, Mrs. Rademacher taught heart-healthy courses at hospitals, culinary schools and gourmet shops, then self-published two cookbooks, "I Can't Believe This Is Low Fat, It Tastes So Good!" and the brand new, "Fast and Fabulous Guilt-Free Entrees and Desserts".
