We all have to eat. Marsha Ward compiled a recipe book in the 1980s when she was editor of a small magazine. The volume is designed to provide a month’s worth of now-vintage easy dishes for a writer or busy person to put on the table.

More recently, Marsha came up with the idea of a cookbook made up of historical recipes that she imagined one of the characters in the Owen Family Saga might have compiled. The book tells how Julia Owen “acquired” each one, and includes a bit of fiction to accompany one dish.

Enjoy!
