Mary and Katie at age 12
Mary B. Devine
April 30, 1932 - May 16, 2008
It is with great sadness that I inform you
that Mary B. Devine passed away. I dedicated my first cookbook
to her because she was my first culinary instructor and was
a great family friend. Mary taught me how to make many recipes
including Angle Food Cake with Chocolate Whipped Frosting,
Eclairs and various types of cookies. I have fond memories
of the times she fostered litters of kittens for the SPCA
or when she made cut-out sugar cookies for my class when I
was in elementary school. My thoughts and prayers are with
her family.
Anniversary!
We are celebrating an important anniversary - 2 years

guide to mixing it up in the kitchen" was published.

Cooking Series at the Haverhill Public Library
The Haverhill Public Library in Haverhill, MA received a
EqualAccess Libraries (TM) grant - given by the EqualAccess
Libraries Institute: a program of Libraries for the Future
and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners to conduct
programs targeting 10 - 15 year olds that focus on health.
I conducted 5 cooking classes, two of which were designed
to introduce and test recipes for a future cookbook #2! The
Haverhill Gazette ran a wonderful full page article about
the program and the following are a few of the comments the
students wrote about the class on a survey.
