I Shouldn't Be Telling You This: Success Secrets Every Gutsy Girl Should Know - Plot & Excerpts
When I was the editor of Redbook, one of the group publishers in my company asked if I would have lunch with a woman who had really impressed him. The woman had developed a cooking concept that she was now peddling, and the executive thought there might be a way for Redbook to feature her, perhaps even monthly. Sure, I’d be glad to join them for lunch, I said. We were always looking for new ideas and new voices. We met at a Midtown restaurant, and though the woman seemed polished and determined, I quickly decided that there was no way I could use her for Redbook. To me there was nothing appealing about the concept she was championing: using store-bought foods such as pudding mix to create partially homemade meals. Okay—wait for it—the woman I had lunch with that day was Sandra Lee, the author of the Semi-Homemade cookbook series, which by now has sold millions of copies, spawned other products, and led to her not only hosting her own show on the Food Network but creating a whole line of home products.
