Growing up in a large, food-loving family of nine, Marlene has always been surrounded by food. Big family dinners were a daily event. “My mother practically lived in the kitchen, and at the age of 85 still does,” says Marlene. By the time she was a teen Marlene found her own niche in the kitchen by taking culinary classes and following her sweet tooth to become the family baker.
Known as a “magician in the kitchen,” Marlene makes life easier for families worldwide with her incredible tasting better-for-you recipes “that everyone can enjoy!” Marlene Koch (pronounced cook), is a nationally recognized nutritionist, popular TV personality and New York Times best-selling author who delivers good health with great taste!

Marlene’s newest book, Eat More of What You Love: Over 200 Brand New Recipes Low in Sugar, Fat, and Calories (Running Press April 2012) is the sequel to her book Eat What You Love which claimed the title of bestselling cookbook of all time on QVC. A Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestseller Eat More of What You Love offers even MORE to love, with over 200 brand new, healthy, yet fabulously flavorful reader and critically acclaimed recipes, for the foods we all love.
