DEL.ICIO.USMeet the blogger
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In addition to her weekly reporting, she is also the author of four cookbooks including the recently released, award winning “The Great American Eat-Right Cookbook”. Her previously published cookbooks include “The 5:30 Challenge”, “The First Book of Baking”, and “Working Mom’s Fast and Easy One Pot Cooking” (reprinted as “Working Mom’s Fast and Easy Family Cookbook”). Besser has cooked on the Food Network in addition to appearing on a multitude of regional and television shows.
A graduate of Brown University, Besser decided to use her fancy Ivy League English literature degree to describe how to get dinner on the table quickly and deliciously instead of penning the next great American novel. Her parents are still hoping that one day she’ll become a “real” writer.
She is aided at home, by Rich, her charming and very tall (6’6”) husband of almost 15 years. She sleeps well at night knowing Rich, a pediatrician by training, now keeps us safe as a coordinating office director at the CDC. She has two sons, Alex, who at 13 is officially taller than her and beats her at all games involving math and logic and her on-the-go sports addicted 9-year-old, Jack.
During the seven minutes she isn’t working at her computer, trying things out in the kitchen, driving carpool, volunteering at her kid’s schools and trying to avoid household chores like laundry and emptying the dishwasher, you can find her in the yoga studio, on the tennis court or curled up with a good book.
