Marg first started writing about food back in 1975 when she wrote a weekly cooking column for her daily newspaper in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. She continued this practice until she moved to the west.

Once there, she began writing a cooking column for her weekly newspaper and did so for several years.

She published her first cookbook, Traditions of Home Cookies and Muffins in 1992 and it becaue a best-seller. Her second cookbook, Traditions of Home Casseroles Soups and More was published in 1993 and also became a best-seller.

Both books were picked up by a French publisher and distributed in Quebec, France, Belgium and the parts of Africa with a French heritage.

Marg currently has 6 cookbooks on Kindle, in the series, Grandma's Best Recipes.

That seems like a long time ago - I grew up in the early 1950's and during my first few years we didn't have any electricity or running water in the house so it was interesting. I'm now 75 years young and my niece asked me to tell her about what it was like when I was growing up so I decided to put it down in a book. My previous books have mostly been cookbooks and that inspiration came from a life of being around many, many cooks and learning to cook also. (less)
