Lisa Rothstein

Lisa has a B.A. in Biology and was a research scientist for 17 years in cancer biology/immunology in Boston, MA at Harvard Medical School, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and University of Massachusetts Medical School. Following her science career, she developed educational programs and materials for an infertility non-profit. Lisa has been an avid cook since the tender age of 5, and has been inspired by the culinary challenges of developing tasty and healthy recipes for special dietary needs such as gluten-free, lactose-free, allergen-free, vegetarian, in addition to low-FODMAP recipes for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Lisa developed the recipes for her newly released low-FODMAP cookbook "IBS-Free Recipes for the Whole Family", co-authored with dietitians Patsy Catsos, RD and Karen Warman, RDN. Her recipes embrace many cultures to include Chinese, Japanese, Southeast Asia, French, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Mexican, Middle Eastern and American cuisines.
