Wonder No More. . . Mary and Martha Return to the Kitchen to Show Every Busy Cook How to Make It Great—While
Keeping It Simple

Uhrichsville, OH—Tired of endlessly slaving away on culinary masterpieces—only to be faced later with a mountain of dirty dishes? Cookbook authors Mary and Martha follow up their successful first collaboration with a new offering sure to please any weary and overworked family chef. In the Kitchen with Mary and Martha: One-Dish Wonders is a brilliant compilation of recipes that all have two things in common: great taste and virtually no cleanup.

“I must confess I had some reservations at first,” says Martha. “It just didn’t seem right somehow to fix such delicious meals without a little more effort on my part. And with these simple recipes, cleanup was a snap. It almost felt like I was cheating on the process. But Mary convinced me that busy cooks everywhere would be thrilled to have these great recipes and some more of our helpful, timesaving tips.” “You just have too much time on your hands, Martha,” laughs Mary, “most of us are more than happy to use any shortcut we can, as long as it doesn’t affect the flavor!”

Busy cooks everywhere will agree when they sample some of the tasty offerings from the exuberant duo. One-Dish Wonders is chock-full of simple new recipes the whole family will love. Mary and Martha have left no stone unturned, presenting time-saving solutions for every need: snacks, meals on the go, casseroles, salads, soups, sides, dishes that only require 5 ingredients or less, desserts, and the king of one-dish cuisine: creative slow-cooker meals. These recipes not only make food preparation a snap, but cleanup is a breeze, too. Just think of what you can do with all of that extra time on your hands: get a manicure, curl up with a good book, watch a favorite movie with the family, have a Calgon moment. . . .


Martha works full-time as a fiction editor and has written and compiled several novellas and gift books. She lives in Ohio, where she enjoys tending a kitchen garden.

Mary is a full-time editor who has written and compiled several gift books. She makes her home in northeastern Ohio with her husband, Kirk, and their twins, Keane and Kiley.
