About Bethenny

Bethenny Frankel has a knack for making healthy food taste delicious. That knack, which started out as a hobby and was enhanced with formal training, has elevated her to national prominence as a celebrated natural food chef, the creator of the sought-after Skinnygirl Margarita and Skinnygirl Sangria, and The New York Times best-selling author of Naturally Thin, The Skinnygirl Dish, and A Place of Yes.

Frankel, who calls herself a “health foodie” and attended the National Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts, focuses on sharing her knowledge and passion for healthy living. In addition to being regularly featured in national publications from The New York Times to Forbes, she has a monthly column in Health Magazine and Glamour. She’s also a sought-after guest on national news and entertainment television, where she brings her expertise and irresistibly candid and funny take not only to food segments but to any conversation about living healthy and living well.

Frankel’s wit, wisdom and humor first came to national attention when she was named first runner-up on NBC’s “The Apprentice: Martha Stewart.” Network executives saw a personality they couldn’t ignore, saw her connect with audiences, and put her center stage on Bravo’s hit series “The Real Housewives of New York” for three seasons. She emerged as the star of the series, with a huge network of fans, which led Bravo to create a spin-off series, “Bethenny Getting Married?” that premiered with the highest ratings ever in Bravo history and continued with a second successful season called “Bethenny Ever After…”

Naturally Thin: Unleash Your Skinnygirl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting debuted on The New York Times Best-Sellers list and stayed for an astonishing 18 consecutive weeks. Frankel’s second book, The Skinnygirl Dish:EasyRecipes for Your Naturally Thin Life was released just in time to support “new year, new me” resolutions with delicious, practical, effective recipes and lifestyle tweaks. The Skinnygirl Dish showcases Frankel’s renowned “fix-ology,” her ability to take calorie-rich foods and revamp them to create healthier versions without compromising flavor. Her most recent release is A Place of Yes: 10 Rules for Getting Everything You Want Out Of Life, was on The New York Times Best-Sellers list for 13 weeks.

Her skill as a fixologist applies to cocktails too. She has launched the Skinnygirl Margarita, a bottled, pre-mixed beverage made with clear tequila, lime juice and only a splash of citrus liqueur, which drastically reduces the calories of the traditional cocktail. Lightly sweetened with agave nectar, it has only 100 calories in a full 4 oz. serving. Households across the country have made Skinnygirl Margaritas their “it drink.” In March 2011, Skinnygirl Cocktails was acquired by Beam Global, where Bethenny continues to serve as the committed brand collaborator, developer, and marketer. Skinnygirl Cocktails is currently one of the fastest growing spirits brands in the world and following the success of the Skinnygirl Margarita, Skinnygirl Sangria launched in June 2011, followed by Skinnygirl White Cranberry Cosmo, which launched in October 2011.

As the go-to expert for all things reality and lifestyle, Frankel wields her pen (and blackberry) like a sword, ensuring that her fans will get the unvarnished truth along with common sense, expertise and a healthy – always healthy – dose of humor. She is on a mission to democratize healthy living, making information available to everyone she can reach through her appearances, books, columns and blogs.

She currently resides in New York City with her husband, daughter and dog Cookie.
