Gale Compton

Gale Compton (1957- ) made the decision to drastically change her eating habits after a second breast cancer diagnosis in less than a year. Skinny Ms. Slow Cooker cookbook is the product of her love for the culinary arts and a decision to make health a priority in her life.

Gale spent her formative years in her native south before joining the army at 18 and later living in central Europe for seven years. After partnering with west coast clean eating enthusiast Tiffany McCauley, together they built a hugely successful facebook community with a focus on healthy slow cooking recipes. The two produced their first published cookbook in January 2012, Skinny Ms. Slow Cooker, which has enjoyed critical acclaim as well as multiple appearances on a nationally syndicated television show.

Ms. Compton is also one of the founders of the 2012 launched webite, Skinnyms.com, which is dedicated to broadening the slow-cooker concept to appeal to healthy eating and fitness enthusiasts from all walks of life.
