About Us

Roberta Schwartz Wennik, M.S., R.D — President & Creative Director

 
 
Roberta is passionate about cooking.  One of her greatest joys is to cook up something special for family and friends.  With having traveled the world extensively, Roberta has a great appreciation for the foods of different cultures.  So when you have a meal at her house, you never know whether you’ll be “traveling” to Europe, Asia, or parts unknown.
 
 
Like everyone else, there are times when Roberta can’t decide what to make.  Looking into the refrigerator, hoping for inspiration doesn’t always work.  And thumbing through dozens of recipes in cookbooks or websites can be frustrating.  There are just too many choices. 
 
In 1992 she came up with this clever idea for Spin-a-RecipeSM.  Unfortunately, at the time, the internet was still in its infancy and the technology wasn’t ready for her idea.
 
In the meantime, she became:

Professionally, a registered dietitian with a private practice in counseling people on living a healthy life and weight control.
 
Author of many books, including Is Your Personality Type Making You Fat? (showing how to change unhealthy lifestyle habits with the strengths of your type), Drawing the Line on Calories, Carbs, and Fat (a food tracking tool for which she has a patent), Boomer’s Guide to Getting the Weight Off…For Good (Alpha/Perigee Books) and Your Personality Prescription (Kensington).
 
Freelance writer writing for many magazines including Fit Magazine, Fitness, Cooking Light, Elegant Bride, Your Health, and Mature Outlook.  She also was a columnist for The Enterprise, a Seattle-area newspaper.
 
Spokesperson for a national brand doing print and television work for them.
 
Radio talk show segment host on “You’re Talkin’” with Joe Schippaci.
 
Recipe contest winner and contributor to numerous cookbooks.  
 
Volunteer with the Snohomish County Literacy Coalition.  Giving back is a very important part of Roberta’s life.  That is why she is donating a portion of the profits from Spin-a-RecipeSM to Heifer International whose premise is helping those people who are in need and who, in turn, can help others like themselves.
 
First and foremost, Spin-a-RecipeSM is a site for making delicious food.  As a registered dietitian, Roberta wants to help you make that food nutritious.  Most of all, she wants you to have fun creating recipes that you’ll be proud to share with your family and friends. 
 
Enjoy!
