What you're saying...

My grandma and grandpa were from Italy and I miss the cooking. When I watch your show it brings me home again.

Hello!!
Let me tell you just how much my family loved your recipe"Whole Wheat Penne with Meat Sauce".
The sauce was so rich, I was astonished at the flavor. Thanks again for such a great dish.

JUST LIKE GRANDMA USED TO MAKE, BRAVO!!!!

— Carolyne

We loved Eggs in Purgatory. I think you are the bomb! I love watching your show on PBS and looking up your recipes online. THANK YOU

— Scott

I have been watching you for years Mary Ann, and my husband any I admire you as a very hard working lady, and we always say I would eat that because you know if Mary Ann made it, it's good.

— Suzanne

The amazing Mary Ann has done it again! Easy, always delicious and reminiscent of family times eating together, enjoying the food and each other. It doesn't get any better than that!

— Patricia

I grew-up watching my mother watch your show, and now I watch it! I enjoy when you speak of your family traditions and recipes. I come from a Spanish Catholic Family of 11 not counting my parents! So Mary Ann, very much like you; Family,Food and Tradition went hand in hand. My Favorite food to eat is not Spanish Food, it is Italian Food! My Brother's & Sisters love me to cook spaghetti with both sausages and meatballs! Thank You for all you do!

— Theresa

Hi Mary Ann. OMG!Your Pistachio Dusted Pork Chops were to die for! We loved them, they were a big hit, and they are definitely worth repeating. My husband thought he wouldn't like the pears & dried apricots but they were d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! His 88 yr old father, who is originally from Nicolosi, thought that I served him too much but he cleaned up his plate! Love you, love your show, love your spunk and no nonsense, professional approach to cooking. Thank you for teaching us about Italy and giving us so many wonderful cooking tips!
