Nancy Albright, the author of the Rodale Cookbook, has an en-kviable reputation as a cateress and gourmet cook. She was personally chosen by Mr. & Mrs. Robert Rodale to create the dining room at Fitness House. Her only guidelines were to prepare and serve food that would reflect the Rodale attitude toward wholesomeness and nutrition as expressed in the company's magazines, Prevention and Organic Gardening & Farming. Through Mrs. Al-bright's imagination and planning, the dining room has become such a success that lunching there is considered a popular fringe benefit of working at The Press. You will get to know Nancy Albright as you read her descriptions of how things are done in the Fitness House kitchen. Her approach to cooking is straightforward and practical, Nancy has a reassuring knack for anticipating questions and solving problems in advance. When she explains how to make soup stock or how to bake a loaf of bread, you know you can do it just by following her explicit directions. It is obvious from the way she writes about it, that Nancy enjoys cooking and takes pleasure in making food look as good as it tastes. Her enthusiasm and confidence are contagious!
