Books – Saturday Beans and Sunday Suppers: Kitchen Stories from Mary's Farm

Life-saving iced tea, Indian pudding “as it should be,” dandelion wine made in the days when flowers meant peace, lamb roasted on an Icelandic farm, baked beans from those who know best, cod cheeks and ale. Take this journey from the early 1960s all the way through the decades. In Saturday Beans and Sunday Suppers, you’ll discover a delicious collection of thoughts, memories, and recipes, all about food, written by one of New England’s treasured writers. Here, food is not just sustenance but life and spirit and communion all in one. Guaranteed to inspire an appetite, for life and for good food, happily prepared.

Praise for Edie Clark’s previous book The View from Mary's Farm “Edie Clark's clear-eyed and lyrical essays capture the essence of New England’s weather, season, landscape and wonderfully independent- minded natives the way Wendell Berry’s writing evokes the natural world of Kentucky. In the tradition of Frost, Thoreau, and Emily Dickinson, Ms. Clark shows us how the small and large satisfactions of living close to nature can inform life with grace, meaning, and beauty." - Howard Frank Mosher, author of Disappearances and Northern Border
