About the author
Penny Klatell is a doctoral level nurse, a health and nutrition coach and a Mom. She’s also a food lover, former college professor, author, blogger, speaker, and a very frequent restaurant visitor.
Penny grew up in the restaurant business. Her parents had an old fashioned New York City luncheonette—the kind with a long counter, booths in the back, a flat top grill, and a real malted machine. She learned about where food came from on her grandmother’s working farm where all meals were made from scratch, eggs came from the chickens in the chicken coop, fruit came from trees and bushes, and vegetables came from the garden.
Penny raised three very active, athletic, and hungry sons who taught her the meaning of having healthy and good tasting food available at all times – and in large quantities. Her family was—and is—a true proving ground for how to eat well . . . anytime, anywhere, and at any age.
Her books and blog EatOutEatWell.com include tips, strategies, and solid information about food, eating strategies, and weight management – all delivered with a bit of humor. She draws her information and inspiration from her love of food, visits to many restaurants and markets around the world, her professional and personal background, and a good deal of research drawn from trusted sources.
Her intent is to provide you with practical, usable information; help you love and learn about food; eat well; manage your weight; feed your family well; and bring a smile to your face.
