In 1958, homemaker Barbara Goodfellow self-published the first Make It Now, Bake It Later! cookbook in an effort to raise money to fight cystic fibrosis. The original book and subsequent sequels went on to sell more than 1.5 million copies. Barbara's son Scott and his wife Ann were inspired to revive the phenomenon with all-new dishes adapted for today's palate when they realized that the family was still receiving requests for favorite recipes even though the books had long been out of print. Considering the emphasis on convenience in this century, the concept couldn't be more modern.

After living in more than a dozen major cities and entertaining everyone from family and friends to various politicians and media personalities, ANN GOODFELLOW has perfected the role of homemaker and hostess. She has contributed to several community cookbooks. SCOTT GOODFELLOW is a leading television news executive, most recently as Chief Executive Officer of CNBC Asia Pacific. Over the past two decades in addition to many years in television news, he has also worked for Dow Jones & Co., Inc.
