Food Consultant and Cyberchef
An award-winning chef and food consultant who has worked in such fine New York restaurants as Le Cirque and Lespinasse, Lisa Schroeder has combined personal passion and professional know-how to help Americans achieve balance in their diet and get on the track to healthy eating. Schroeder has used her culinary talents to create delicious, lower-fat recipes for the Shape Up America! Cyberkitchen on an interactive web site that allows people to choose from a selection of menus. Her Cyberkitchen recipes are easy to prepare and include a variety of ingredients. Her daily menu plans emphasize portion control, the key to weight management, and achieve, by day's end, a limit of 30 percent calories from fat, without sacrificing flavor.
"I know from personal experience that to achieve a healthy weight and lifestyle, you don't have to eliminate all of your favorite foods; but it does mean you learn how to balance those choices with increased physical activity and other strategies that allow you to come in on target at the end of the day."
Prior to graduating from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, Schroeder began her career in marketing and went on to direct and develop the non-food products division for Weight Watchers International. As chef-owner, she also operated her own off-premise catering business for 11 years. Schroeder has spent the past four years perfecting her culinary skills further at some of the world's most distinguished restaurants including Le Cirque in New York City and Moulin de Mougins and L'Auberge de L'Eridan in France. She has received numerous awards and honors, including the "Top 10 Best Student Chefs" by Food & Wine magazine in 1994.
