Marjorie Standish's first book, Cooking Down East was such a success that she was persuaded to write another one for all her faithful readers. After years of writing a cooking column in the Maine Sunday Telegram, Mrs. Standish knows what works, and in her unpretentious way, she also knows how important good cooking is to living well. A profile of the 89-year-old author in Maine Times noted that "she recognizes the culture of food and its gift for bringing people together."
