About the Author: Beverly received her first cookbook as a birthday present at age 8, and has been cooking for family and friends ever since. Heart disease, diabetes, and weight control concerns in the family led her to modify old favorites and search for new items to replace high-­‐fat, high-­‐sodium foods while balancing proteins and carbohydrates. Fruit trees and berries in the back yard produced seasonal abundance that led to new uses in the kitchen.
