"Just finished up making 4 different hummus recipes! Made Roasted Garlic, Sundried Tomato, Sour Cream & Onion, and Roasted Garlic. The recipes were simple to follow!! The only problem I'm having is trying to decide which I love the most! Thanks Mary!!"

"All I can say is "What a great cookbook!" I love how so many of the recipes have variations added by the author and the personal touch
of how the recipe came to be. There is nothing like a favorite dish
made with love to take you back in time, remember special
moments and people in life."

"Mary's food is, in a word, incredible. She helped host a friend's baby shower and made the most delicious (and gestational-diabetic-friendly) food. I also tested a few of the recipes in the book and they made me feel like a true chef. I am by no means a cooking guru but Mary's recipes made me feel like one.Sometimes I look at her website
just to drool over the pictures.Can't wait to get my hands
on one of those books!"

"I love everything about your book! The stories are reflective of the food and the people behind the food. It's a labor of love and a compliment to all who were involved in the creation of this little gem. Thank you so much for sharing your love of food, music, poetry and song. I will
be giving your cookbook to friends and family this Christmas.
My corner of the world will be introduced to your beautiful book.
Happy Holidays!!"

"I've cooked a few recipes from this book now, and it certainly doesn't disappoint. I'm not much of a cook, so if I can cook these things and they turn out delicious, it really says something about the recipe. Thumbs up!"

"I just received my All You Need is Food cookbook and I can't wait to try out the recipes. I read through the entire cookbook and marked out the recipes I want to try out first! It's not just a cookbook but a fun read on various subjects from food to music! The history on some of the
recipes are cool too! Thanks for a fun cookbook!"

"I just got the book yesterday so I haven't been able to try any of the delicious sounding recipes yet. But I started looking through it and I've never felt the urge to sit down and read a cookbook before. This one just captured something inside me right away, and I look forward to
reading through every page."
- Muller, Bellingham, WA

"The book is very well put together, and not just a typical cookbook. The neat little stories, illustrations, and photos make this not just a great cookbook, but almost like a scrapbook of some very cool people that are in Mary's life. This is such a good idea, that frankly, I wish I had though of it ;-) Since I only recieved it last night, I have not had a chance to make any of the dishes, but they all look so fine, that I
don't even know where to start. I cannot wait for the weekend, so
we can go out shopping and get started on some of the recipes
in this book!! Overall- GREAT cookbook!! I will be buying more
for my friends, and family in the near future. This is just a book
that should be on everyones counter, or bookshelf.
So glad that I bought it!! Fine job!!"

"It's so exciting to see someone's dream become a reality. This cookbook has such an original touch with its writing, photos, and hometown feel. You can tell that it was written with a lot of heart and passion. Thank you Mary for sharing your gifts with us! I thought it
was so fantastic that I bought a couple extra for my friends!"

"I can't think of this book without feeling hungry - even if I've just finished eating! The recipes are easy to follow and absolutely
delicious. My husband loves when I bring out this cookbook to
make dinner, and he's normally very picky. Heck, even my son
loves a lot of the things in this book, and he usually balks
at anything that isn't a chicken nugget.Thank you for
writing a book that everybody in my family loves.

"Your book is fabulous in every sense. Wonderful recipes, wonderful stories. One can truly see that this is a labor of love and that love is easily transferred to your readers. This is not just a cook book; it's
the story of a life long love with food and music and a beautiful
person who has surrounded herself with others who share
these passions. I've picked up extra copies for my family
for Christmas this year. It's truly amazing."
- Travis, Sacramento, CA

"Mary has the uncanny ability to make cooking fun and effortless, even for those, such as myself, who often see it as a dreaded task. Her enthusiasm and passion for food is infectious, as is that of her
love for music! Thanks for all your inspiration Mary!!"

"I LOVE the book! It’s not just an old boring cookbook, it’'s a book that I actually wanted to sit down and read. I love all the little random drawings and cute stories that really make the book down to earth homey. I love that the food is fairly simple to make, but it certainly
does not taste simple. And the desserts!!?? AMAZING!! It
satisfies the sugar fiend in me!"
-Dolly Broderick, Sacramento, CA
