About the Author
For fourteen years as a Family Thrift Counselor, Mary Webber shared her wisdom statewide in Maine through a weekly radio show and television segments on topics ranging from baking bread and raising chickens to fund-raising strategies and writing wills. But it has always been in the kitchen that Mary's practical approach has been particularly appreciated.

Mary has an extensive background in both print and broadcast media, as well as public relations and writing. After leaving media work, Mary became a middle school teacher for ten years, years she descirbes as "exhilarating and exhausting!"

She lives on a little less than two acres in Yarmouth, Maine, where she and her husband raise most of their own food.

Customer Reviews

If you're really frugal, don't buy this cookbook
Save your money. This cookbook is not worth your time. I love and collect cookbooks, so I was very disappointed when I began reading this rather pathetic book. I would say it is probably the worst cookbook I have ever purchased. It went immediately to our local thrift store. Maybe they will get a quarter for it.

great review
I received the book in good time and in good shape as stated.

My Favorite Cookbook!
I mainly bake for my family, as my husband enjoys cooking our meals. This cookbook is my favorite. The Supreme Chocolate Cake with Fluffy Fudge Frosting is a must at each birthday throughout the year. Also, the Cold Blueberry Pie (Openfaced Blueberry Pie in the third edition of the book) is fantastic. My friends request that I make that for all our get-togethers. The Gingerbread recipe is another favorite. I could go on and on....I recieved this book as a gift about 15 years ago and it shows. It was falling apart. Thankfully, Mary published another edition. My daughter now has editions 2 and 3 in her collection of cookbooks. I know that she too will be using these cookbooks long into the future.
