Sandi Richard

Sandi Richard is North America's foremost meal planner and it’s no wonder. She is passionate about getting families back to the dinner table. And she should know how tough that is for families considering she has seven children of her own. Over ten years ago, she and her husband Ron put everything they owned on the line when they decided to share Sandi’s passion in their first self published meal planning book, Life’s on Fire: Cooking for the Rushed, released in 1999. Since that time they have added three more books to the “Cooking for the Rushed” series, all bestsellers. ( Getting Ya Through the Summer, The Healthy Family, and The Dinner Fix).


Sandi speaks to thousands of people across North America about strategies to get families back to the dinner table to create more balance in their lives.  Her enthusiasm eventually caught the attention of some of the country’s largest networks. Sandi decided to settle down with joeMedia, a Calgary based production company, and shortly after Food Network Canada snapped up her first national show called Fixing Dinner which has now completed four seasons of production and is broadcast in Canada, the U.S. and Australia.

Sandi won Best Host Female (non-news) at both the 2005 and 2006 Alberta Film & Television Awards.  She has been a featured guest on Food Network U.S., Christine Cushing Live, Vicki Gabereau and QVC TV.  She is a regular guest on CTV, The Learning Channel and CBC radio.  Sandi contributes articles and recipes to numerous national and provincial publications.  She resides in Calgary, Alberta.
