The Book Drunkard Literary Festival

Following the success of her visit in 2019, we are pleased to welcome Mary Berg back to Uxbridge! Join us for a four course meal as Mary delves deeper into her dishes and experiences as a chef and television personality. This event includes a copy of Mary’s latest cookbook, In Mary’s Kitchen, to take home and create your own MasterChef quality recipes.

 

Everyone loves Mary! This beloved home cook, who Variety calls “the millennial Ina Garten,” is back with a cookbook of 100 all-new recipes guaranteed to become your stress-free sidekick in the kitchen.

The kitchen is Mary’s happy place, where worries melt away, a busy mind calms, and time seems to slow down. But she knows that for many people, the exact opposite is true! However you feel about mealtimes, Mary is here to help, with uncomplicated but delicious recipes, packed with tips and tricks, to produce flavorful results—every time.

  • It’s What You Need: With chapters broken down into their main ingredient to facilitate easy searching, you’ll love Mary’s ideas for breakfast, veg & starch, pasta, fish, chicken, beef, pork & lamb, and, of course, sweets.
  • Make It Easy! It’s not just the name of her award-winning TV program, it’s her culinary ethos. Mary’s recipes look easy because they are easy, and the ones in this book are her most straightforward yet!
  • Find the “Why”: With notes in the margin of each recipe giving you the reason behind a certain ingredient or technique, you’ll learn tips that act as building blocks for all your culinary endeavors. And with call-outs that point to recipes where you can get ahead, build fast flavor, or get more bang for your buck, home cooks of all skill levels will find something to entice.

With every recipe Mary writes, her goal is to show you that cooking for yourself, your friends, and your family doesn’t have to be boring, difficult, or stressful. No matter the time of day, or day of the week, with In Mary’s Kitchen, you’ll find everything you need to make the kitchen your happy place too.

 

MARY BERG is the bestselling and award-winning author of Well Seasoned: A Year’s Worth of Delicious Recipes and Kitchen Party: Effortless Recipes for Every Occasion. She is the host of Mary Makes It Easy and Mary’s Kitchen Crush, the Season 3 winner of MasterChef Canada, as well as a cooking expert on Your MorningThe Social, and The Marilyn Denis Show.
