Mary Collette Rogers Mary Collette Rogers has been in the healthy cooking and eating field for over 20 years. She came to this area after several years as a commercial attorney and MBA candidate. An introductory business course on computer databases gave Mary the idea for her first healthy eating product, Dinner!, a meal management software program to simplify and speed the daily meal making routine.While developing Dinner!, she and her children suffered a serious health crisis caused by food allergies. She had to completely revamp her family's diet, a challenge she met successfully with the KitchenSmart strategies that later became the basis for the Whole Kitchen Way. Mary wrote about these strategies in her book, Take Control of Your Kitchen, the guide to organizing, simplifying and setting up the kitchen for easy, enjoyable and healthful meal making. In addition to her book, Mary offers kitchen coaching and classes on healthy cooking, in the hope of sharing her practical strategies, habits and tools so busy people everywhere can enjoy wonderfully delicious and nourishing meals. She also inspires audiences with enthusiastic talks at venues ranging from Kaiser Permanente, Boulder Community Hospital and Covidien, to the City of Boulder, First Community Church, and several guest appearances on Denver's CW2 and Fox stations. Mary is now expanding her healthy eating roots to support those visionaries and leaders working to reestablish food, farming, cooking and the kitchen as valued and respected parts of our culture. To that end, she is excited to share her Whole Kitchen Way, the first comprehensive and integrated program for creating supportive kitchens where it's easy to make meals that support our health and the health of the planet.
