Making Your Own Baby Food & More
In 1974 I was a young mother at home in suburban Minneapolis with two small children, ages one and three. I had majored in Art History in college and worked as a sportswear buyer in New York City before getting married and starting a family. I had no experience with writing and publishing. I had an idea for a cookbook that could be a fundraiser for my local childbirth preparation education group. With input and help from five other mothers in two group meetings (at least a half-dozen children in tow at each meeting), I created a cookbook for new mothers. The only title ever suggested for the book was Feed Me I'm Yours. The rest is history, as they say. Over 3 million copies are in print and it's still going strong. That book turned me into an author, media personna, publisher and "professional" parent!
