A Health Maven’s Sweet Secret
'“She doesn’t bring dessert,” a friend’s teenage son complained when he heard I was coming to dinner. “She brings fruit.” ¶ That was true for decades. But no more. You may know me as a health maven, but in my kitchen I have a double life, one in which the olive oil remains in the cabinet while bricks of high-fat French butter soften on the countertop.
You see, I ghost-write pastry cookbooks.
Monday through Thursday you’ll find me testing Recipes for Health, my column for the Health pages of The New York Times. On other days you might walk in on me and my 15-year-old son, Liam, in a state of abandon, licking the bowl and beaters of my stand mixer after I’ve frosted a dozen ganache-covered chocolate cupcakes, two of which have already mysteriously disappeared from the cooling rack.'
