About the Author
The next step was to cut the fat from her family′s diet by changing methods of food preparation and food selection, while maintaining flavor, variety, and flexibility. It wasn′t long before Lynn realized just how important her role of chief chef was in impacting her family′s health and quality of life. From lower cholesterol numbers (her husband′s fell by a dramatic 100 points!) and lower medical bills to higher energy and better moods, Lynn′s hard work in the kitchen paid off handsomely. Ultimately, Lynn′s concern for healthy lifestyles extended far beyond her own family′s dinner table and has propelled her to her current position as a nationally recognized health expert, best–selling cookbook author, and host of over 200 national cooking shows.
Lynn, who now lives in Washington, D.C., founded the National Women′s Health Awareness Forum and is a former medical anchor at WTTG (Fox) in Washington. She hosts the popular cooking series "Healthy Indulgences" on PBS and was formerly known as "The Low Cholesterol Gourmet" on the Discovery Channel. She is coauthor of the bestseller The Low Cholesterol Gourmet with Dr. W. Virgil Brown, former president of the American Heart Association, and has also written The Quick Low Cholesterol Gourmet, Healthy Indulgences, The Better Sex Diet, and Fabulous Fat–Free.
Pasta cecca, Caesar salad, and tart cherry pie are the special foods that tickle Lynn′s taste buds. Friends and family touch her heart and fill her life. This enthusiastic proponent of healthy lifestyles strives each day to learn new skills, embrace new ideas, and through her professional efforts on television and in writing books, make a positive impact on the health and welfare of the world around her.

Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
