Since venturing into the world of self-publishing in
2000 Mo Smith's 'Lazy Cook' books have been written about in national
magazines and sold in major book stores and supermarkets countrywide -
in itself a unique achievement for a self-publisher entering a market
which is dominated by celebrity and TV chefs - Mo emphases that she is
a 'Cook'.
The Mail on Sunday "You"
Magazine featured Mo in the 21st July 2002 issue. In an article
entitled "Mo's Easy Pleasures". They said "it is a housewife from
Bisley in Gloucestershire who is set to rival glamour cooks Nigella,
Jamie et al. What's more remarkable is that she conceived and published
the books all by herself."
Mo broadcasts regularly on BBC
Radio Gloucestershire - where she shares recipes and Lazy Cook tips
- "The recipes are designed for living in this new century; recipes
to give inspiration to people who enjoy cooking but feel they don't
have time any more; recipes to give ideas and encouragement to those
who fear complicated recipes and lack the confidence to have a go"
says Mo.
Mo also appeared on Channel 5's Open House
with Gloria Hunniford.
Lazy Cook recipes are regularly featured in the Western
Daily Press and their West Country Living supplement. Mo's easy recipes
have also appeared in Country Life magazine.
Passionate about ingredients and healthy eating Mo's
success at writing, publishing and marketing her books (sales of over
18,000), has meant that much of her time is now spent away from the
cooker and at the computer, hence the quicker and lazier than ever
recipes created for this book.
An experienced broadcaster, public speaker, relaxed and
natural in front of TV cameras, Mo's philosophy is to promote healthy
eating and to steer people away from ready made meals by passing on her
unique cooking skills to everyone. Mo says, "I feel cheated if it takes
me longer than 15-20mins to get a meal into the oven and leave it to
cook while I relax - that is what Lazy Cooking is all about"
