After a successful career as a food and wine journalist and top restaurant publicist in the early 90s, Ms. Fredericks found her calling in 1995 when she brought her own lessons about cooking with children as a single parent, into culinary and public elementary schools of NYC. Since 1995, these educational efforts under FamilyCook have reached over 150,000 families. Ms. Fredericks's work in New York City public schools was recognized in 2002 with a Leadership Award, from the New York City Council of Administrators. In 2001, she was presented with a PRIDE award for her contribution in family nutrition to the NYC public school community. In 2006, Gourmet Magazine saluted FamilyCook’s efforts to bring cooking skills to inner city families. Such messages as family togetherness and moderation are the fulcrum of the FamilyCook educational approach, where families practice multicultural meal concepts that make dinnertime an adventure! Ms. Fredericks’ understanding of family dynamics and its relationship to food and health is a binding element of such FamilyCook curricula as Nibble with Willow (preschool); Look Who’s Cooking (K- 5); Teen Battle Chef (middle & high school). Collectively, these programs empower children -- and parents, to transform their relationship to food and enjoy more home cooked meals using fresh ingredients.

Through partnership with HealthCorps, founded by renowned cardiologist, author and television personality Dr. Mehmet Oz, her Teen Battle Chef program has grown to over 100 schools across the US, empowering youth to make measurable improvements in their eating habits and ‘stir up change’ in their communities by sharing their cooking skills and teaching others.

Together with her FamilyCook Productions’ team of dieticians and chefs, Ms. Fredericks has developed family-focused food & nutrition programs (curricula, learning tools & activities) for such state and local health departments, non-profits, and companies such as: Share Our Strength, HealthCorps; NY State Department of Health; CT State Department of Public Health, Public Health Solutions, YMCA’s the USA; Preferred Care (HMO); NYC Workforce Development Corporation; Montefiore School Health Program; The After School Corporation; FDNY, Wegmans Food Markets, Disney's Family.com, C-CAP (Careers Through Culinary Arts Program), StarChefs.com, AIWF Days of Taste. In addition, Ms. Fredericks has served as spokesperson for brands such as Barilla Pasta, Tupperware, Reynolds® Oven Bags, 3-M Post-It Flags, O-Cello Sponge Scrubbers, and The National Pasta Association among others.

A popular lecturer, television personality, and cooking demonstrator, Ms. Fredericks and FamilyCook programs have been featured on such national television shows as NBC’s Today, Cooking Live, and the Food Network’s Chopped, as well as numerous local radio and television programs around the U.S.  Ms. Fredericks is also an avid outdoors enthusiast with a special love for cross-country skiing and fly-fishing. She resides in Manhattan with her two sons, Alex and Stephan. ...more

From the moment we enter this world, our internal cues signal us when we are hungry and when we are satisfied. We are born with a sucking reflex so we can obtain nourishment. Once solid food is introduced, it’s a learning process.
