WHAT DO YOU DO?

“I write cookbooks. I try to inspire
you to eat healthier. And I’m a mother
of two daughters.“

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT?

“For me, my biggest achievement is
my cookbooks. I’ve written five cookbooks, and four of them made the bestseller list.
Of course also my two children, my family, and being able to live here in New York—it’s simply an everyday dream. “

WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED?

“The best advice I’ve ever received is that everything happens in its own time,
and there’s a reason why things happen.
There’s also a reason why things don’t happen at a certain time, but happen later instead. So really, just trust the universe that everything will happen at the right time. “
