E57: The Happy Cookbook Project with Kathy Doocy

A Cure in Sight is joined by omie, Kathy Doocy, co-author of The Happy Cookbook, The Simply Happy Cookbook, and The Happy in a Hurry Cookbook.

 

Kathy Doocy was previously the host of ESPN's Sidelines and worked at NBC. WHen Kathy and Steve got married and the kids came along, Kathy retired from her TV work to raise the family and preside as the Doocy family CEO and CFO, and she's enjoyed every single minute of it.

 

Steve and Kathy have Three grown children who moved out and now miss their parent's delicious home-cooked meals every day. they live in New Jersey.

 

Regarding the Happy Cookbook:

 

"The year before we started this project, Kathy was diagnosed with ocular melanoma, an unbelievably rare and aggressive form of eye cancer. She was lucky that they caught it early and she was treated by Dr. Carol Shields and her team of specialists at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia. during her very first examination, Dr. Shields told Kathy, "I am going to save your life," and she did.

 

During her recovery, while taking stock of her life as many do when they've gone through something that life-changing, Kathy vowed to make it her personal quest to leave her children a written record of the foods they grew up loving. They don't cook much now, but they will someday.

 

This will always be a part of Kathy's legacy to Peter, Mary, and Sally, that whereever they travel in their lives, they'll always have a printed road map to their mom's signature suppers, provided they will actually cook and not order takeout on Uber Eats."
