REVIEW -
Good Housekeeping Magazine, January, 1999: (included in
subscriber issues only--subscriber circ 4,600,000):
THE HEALTHY OVEN BAKING BOOK provides the perfect capers to
your nutritious meals. Reducing the fat in baked goods without
sacrificing taste is an acquired skill. Author Sarah Phillips is here
to help, with clear cut explanations and concise recipe
instructions...Phillips'
Frosted Classic
Fudge Layer Cake--an adaptation of her mother's recipe the fat
grams from 28 per serving to a more manageable nine. Judging by their
requests for seconds, our staffers had no complaints. |
... features more than 125
classic baking recipes with less fat. All recipes are fast healthful and
delicious and made with all-natural ingredients. Applesauce, a reduced
amount of butter, the minimum of whole eggs, as well as a wide selection
of readily available ingredients are used in the recipes.
Many recipes took months to
develop. Innovative recipes include: a
White Cake, reduced in
fat and never done before, with
low-fat frosting
recipe that is thick and creamy, a
Frosted Classic Fudge
Layer Cake, an easy
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip
Ring and even Whole
Wheat Buttermilk Glazed Doughnuts that are healthy because they're
baked. There is a recipe for thick and chocolaty
Fudge Brownies,
as well as ones for crispy reduced-fat cookies, such as
Sugar Cookies,
Chocolate Chip and
Lemon Crisps. Other
recipes include those for
muffins, pies,
fruit desserts and
more. |

PAST CEO AND FOUNDER:
HEALTHY OVEN LOW- FAT BAKING MIXES
1989
- 1999, Nationwide 12 SKU Food Product Line in Grocery Stores.
Reviews of Healthy Oven Baking Mixes found in Food
and Wine, Bon Appetit,
EatingWell magazines.
I founded and developed Healthy Oven, Inc. in
1989. Healthy Oven a 12 SKU muffin and cake grocery store mix line that "Bakes
with Applesauce Instead of Butter". I developed Healthy Oven to be easy and
convenient. I also knew that a mix taking only 3 easy steps to make would be
well received. To make Healthy Oven Mixes, simply: 1. Stir ingredients: baking
mix, applesauce, water and canola oil; 2. Pour batter into prepared pans; 3.
Bake or microwave.
Healthy Oven Muffin
Mix Flavors: Cinnamon, Chocolate, Ginger and Orange
Healthy Oven
Quick-Cake Mix Flavors: Apple, Chocolate, Lemon and Pumpkin.
Developed concept of baking snack-cakes in an 8x8-inch pan.
Healthy Oven Refined
Sugar-Free Muffin Mix Flavors (For National health food store chains):
Cinnamon, Chocolate, Ginger and Orange
I brought the line, within a year, through
national distributors into grocery and health food stores nationwide, such as
Wal-Mart Supercenters, A & P, Von’s, Safeway, HEB, Harris Teeter, Waldbaum’s,
Dominick's. Healthy Oven was cross-over line also found in national health food
chains such as, Fresh Fields, Whole Foods, Mrs. Gooch's, etc.
| In 1989, after
studying briefly at the Culinary Institute of America, I started a cookie
line from my home, called Simply Sarah's (tm)
Gourmet Cookie Line. I had the State of New York approve my
kitchen for commercial use -- something rarely done is home kitchens--and
went to work baking cookies by night and marketing and delivering cookies by
day. Simply
Sarah's Cookie Flavors: Classic Sugar, Sugar &
Spice, Maple Walnut, Dark Cocoa and Lemon Twist
Prestigious stores in Manhattan, such as
Bloomingdale’s and Grace’s Marketplace, and a number of other upscale
gourmet stores sold the cookies. The cookies were a hit, but the
manufacturing process -- baking all of the cookies from a home kitchen --
limited the quantities that could be produced. Realizing the limitations of
the business, I decided to stop production of the cookies. |
I negotiated all of the fees associated with
getting Healthy Oven into grocery stores, hired brokers and did the publicity.
Bon Appetit, Food & Wine and Eating Well, ran feature reviews and I appeared
twice on the TV Food Network with Donna Hanover (former name: Sarah Eswein). I
also gave hundreds of food demos with public speaking around the country.
I approached Mott's, the largest nationwide
manufacturer of jarred applesauce, to do a cross-marketing campaign with Healthy
Oven. It was done for several months in select grocery stores in the
Southeastern United States.
During that time I was a member of the NASFT
(National Association for the Food Trade) and exhibited in about 5 major food
shows a year, including distributor shows.
Due to the heavy financial demands that grocery
chains place on small manufacturers, I closed the business ten years later in
1999. (Healthy Oven is a registered trademark of Sarah Phillips).
FOOD
BROKER: I represented over 2,000
gourmet food products, such as Guiltless Gourmet, Terra Chips, El Paso Chili
Company, La Tempesta, Dean & Deluca, and Balducci’s in the New York Metropolitan
area. I developed a reputation for being the first to recognize and sign-up
successful new products. Two of the lines that I helped develop in the New York
area went on to become huge successes. Terra Chips (gourmet potato chips), later
sold to Hain Foods, and Guiltless Gourmet (low-fat tortilla chips, salsas and
bean dips), that started the whole low-fat chip niche.
Success as a broker led to a sales
position with one of the leading distributors of gourmet foods in the Northeast.
During the next few years, I established the company as one of the leading
distributors in a portion of the Northeast.
