Annabelle Valentin grew up in the Vosges region in France, where her interest for the animal world began. Her creativity and her taste for home-made products led her to work for Marie Claire and Cuisine et Vins de France (Food and Wine of France). When she decided to reduce her use of chemical products for herself and for her cat Mirò, she discovered the virtues of plants. With this, her first book, Annabelle consulted at length with veterinarians to be sure all recipes are safe, healthy, and appealing.
