Rose Reisman is a savvy entrepreneur whose strength lies in recognizing the ever-changing needs of the marketplace. She began by self-publishing a general cookbook in 1988, but in 1993, she realized the need to change her own lifestyle was definitely part of something much bigger. Her hunch hit the mark. Her 1993 cookbook, Rose Reisman Brings Home Light Cooking sold over 400,000 copies to a more health-conscious society. It was at this time that Rose Reisman began donating proceeds from all of her book sales to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF). To date, she has written more than 16 books and has raised over $1 million for breast cancer research. Over the past few years, Rose Reisman further diversified and now runs two distinct companies, both geared at sharing her passion for the art of living a balanced lifestyle.
