Bringing cooking back

Local blogger Chrisetta Mosley is bringing cooking back.

The Vancouver resident battled with childhood obesity but has since lost 170 pounds.

Mosley credits her success to her home cooking and is taking her experience public with the launch of her new – and first – cookbook, “Farewell Fatso! Bringing Cooking Back.”

On Feb. 7, Mosley hosted a book-signing and tasting event at New Seasons Market – Fisher’s Landing.

According to Mosley, the kickoff was a success.

“New Seasons Market promotes local authors, artists, farmers – localness. They embraced me, my convenient little cookbook, and opened the doors to the folks of the community to gather and learn more about me and ultimately about their store,” Mosley said.

“It was a nice mixture of folks who came especially to see me and customers who where shopping and popped their heads into say hello,” she said.

Mosley writes a blog called Farewell Fatso! that also appears on The Columbian’s Live Well website.

Her cookbook is available at New Seasons Market.
