T'is the good reader that makes

"For many years, islander and visitors alike have
enjoyed the cards and calendars created by cousins
Maryanna Gabriel and Bly Kaye. Gabriel's unique
recipes and Kaye's charming illustrations are now
available in a more permanent form in the book
Memento; A Coastal Recipe Treasure.
Gabriel describes the cookbook as both "a memento or
a souvenir" and a commemoration of the coastal
landscape...
Visually appealing, the recipes' text and Kaye's
drawings are set in full colour against a clean
white background... a lovely souvenir of island
life." |

About The Author:
Maryanna Gabriel’s passion for food is
attributed to her family where good
cooking is considered a religious experience. She is
often asked, “Did you really make these recipes up?”
The answer is yes with the caveat that some are
inspired by friends and travels. She is the owner of Magic Cottage Creations
and is currently working on another book. Born in Montreal, Maryanna has lived
across Canada but primarily on Canada’s west coast.
She is an avid cook, adventurer, traveler, kayaker,
gardener, artist, and mother of two amazing
daughters. |
