About the Author

Pat Crocker knows about food, herbs, and health from the ground up. She has enjoyed a long career teaching, researching, writing about, growing, and speaking about healthy food and herbs. A home economist (Ryerson University, BAA, 1975), she taught high school immediately upon graduating from the University of Torontos Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.

After leaving teaching, Pat started a niche food public relations company, Crocker International Communications, Inc., operating in Toronto with food and consumer accounts. She sold the company, moved to a log cabin on the Saugeen River in southern Ontario, and hosted Riversong Herb Walk and Gourmet Lunch programs in the 1990s.

Now an award-winning author and regular writer for food and garden magazines, Pats articles have appeared in national and international magazines and newspapers. She has been profiled in Herbs for Health and the Toronto Sun; on Canadas CTV, CBC, and City Television; and on radio stations throughout the United States and Canada. She lectures about food and herb topics throughout the United States and Canada.

The 2011 International Herb Association Professional Award given for outstanding contributions to the Herb Industry and the 2009 Gertrude H. Foster award from the Herb Society of America for Excellence in Herbal Literature have both honored Pat. Her books, The Juicing Bible and The Vegan Cooks Bible have won Best in the World awards from the International Gourmand Culinary Guild.

Pats other books include The Healing Herbs Cookbook; The Juicing Bible; The Smoothies Bible; The Vegetarian Cooks Bible; The Vegan Cooks Bible; The Yogurt Bible; 150 Best Tagine Recipes; Everyday Flexitarian: Recipes for Vegetarians and Meat Lovers Alike, co-authored with Nettie Cronish; Oregano; Herbs of the Kasbah; Pelegoniums, co-authored with Joyce Brobst and Caroline Amidon; and Preserving: The Canning and Freezing Guide for All Seasons.

Pats lifework embraces food, her spirit is entwined with plants, and she nourishes readers, listeners, and audiences with her knowledge and love of both.

Dedication

This is a book for people who envision a healthy life for themselves and their families. I dedicate it to you, no matter where you are on the path to healthy living.

Authors Acknowledgments

With 13 books under my pen, I have come to understand how to write cookbooks. Ive worked with co-authors, editors, copy editors, food editors, designers, recipe testers, and several publishers. And from each, I have learned more about the business of developing, testing, and writing recipes; researching health issues; and the art of writing. Thanks to all the professionals for sharing what they know.

I was delighted to write this book for John Wiley & Sons Canada. Thanks to Anam Ahmed, acquisitions editor, for asking.
