CATHERINE S. KATZ, PhD was raised in the south of France, and learned the fine art of southern French and North African cooking from her mother and aunt. She came to the US at age 14, settled in Houston, Texas, and promptly gained about 25 lbs from her sudden immersion in the "toxic nutritional environment" of the United States! It took her several years to learn all the strategies necessary to compensate for the challenges of that environment, and stabilize her weight permanently. Catherine is a neuroscientist by training. During recent years, her talents have been devoted to the raising of her 5 children and raising the standards of gourmet nutrition.
