About the Author

For 25 years, Marjorie Standish, now deceased, was the editor of the "Cooking Down East" column for the Maine Sunday Telegram, the state's largest-circulation Sunday paper. She lived in Augusta, Maine. Even in her late eighties, she was still meeting with her fans and drawing out-the-door-and-around-the-block crowds to her book signings.
