"Overeating may be an occupational hazard, but some chefs manage to
maintain their weight. "Smart Chefs" reveals their successful
strategies for eating what they love-in moderation, of course.
Adato presents their strategies as 'lessons' that should work for
anyone who adores food. "Smart Chefs" is fun to read and packed
with good advice." Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food
Studies, and Public Health at New York University and Author of

""Smart Chefs Stay Slim" is at once approachable, realistic and
mouth-watering." Gail Simmons
"A breezy, entertaining read sharing lessons, tips and recipes from
some of America's best-known chefs in answer to the compelling
question, 'How do chefs stay slim?' It's filled with enjoyable
anecdotes that promise to help fuel your efforts to do the same."
Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg, James Beard Award Winning Authors
of the Bestseller "The Flavor Bible" and "The Food Lover s Guide to
Wine"
"Sure, chefs are delighted to talk about childhood obesity, and a
healthier America, but getting this personal? Sharing private
details about their own struggles and frustrations with weight?
It's very rare. I love this book because of the great practical
tips. But I "really" love this book because it humanizes so many
legendary chefs, who aren't above taking inventory of their own
bodies -- as emotional as that can be -- just like the rest of us."
Alyssa Shelasky, author of "Apron Anxiety "and editor at "New York
"magazine s Grub Street
"Wise about mindful eating, portion strategies, eating for savor,
etc. Well-written, too." Cooking Light
"Instead of a book that tells you to avoid foods, feel guilty,
deprive yourself, and turn your dinner table into a science
experiment, [Smart Chefs Stay Slim] isreally all aboutwelcoming
good food into your life. It's about living a life surrounded by
good food -- and some of it very decadent -- without driving
yourself crazy. . . Iplan on reading it twice." Cookistry.com
"A refreshingly readable--not to mention appetizing--alternative to
run-of-the-mill diet books." Wall Street Journal"
