The Podleski sisters' first book, Looneyspoons: Low-Fat Food Made Fun, was rejected by seven publishers before they convinced David Chilton to invest.[2]

As of 2008, Greta and Janet have penned three cookbooks: Looneyspoons: Low-Fat Food Made Fun, Crazy Plates: Low-Fat Food So Good, You'll Swear It's Bad for You! and Eat, Shrink and Be Merry!, the last one becoming an inspiration and basis for a TV Cooking show of the same name on the Food Network hosted by the sisters themselves.[3] Their books feature health conscious recipes that are usually low in fat and sodium and high in fibre and protein.[1] All of the books are written in a fairly easy to follow and humorous manner and the recipes usually include nutritional information.[4] In 2000, the sisters were recognized with Canada's Top 40 Under 40 award,[5] an award that honours Canadians under the age of 40 who have become outstanding achievers or leaders in their field of expertise.[6]
