Standish's original book, Cooking Down East, was such a huge success that she was persuaded to write another one for all her faithful readers. Readers of her newspaper column shared their recipes generously, which gives this book a pleasing variety. "If you felt proud enough of your family recipes to share them in my column, then they have deep meaning for all of us," she told her readers.
This book is one of two put out by former Maine columnist Marjorie Standish. Her recipes are easy, delicious and typical of a chef who knows what the "crowd" likes. I give these two books (Cooking Down East) as gifts to those who truly care about what they serve :)
One of the Best Basic Cook Books

Marjorie Standish Cook Books are wonderful cook books for everyday food. She uses ingredients which would be commonly found in many home pantries or the corner supermarket. Her instructions are easy to follow for the novice cook and produce wonderful results. I have used her first cook book COOKING DOWN EAST for many years, and the purchase of these cook books are for another generation of budding cooks!
