What Clients Say

Here are what several clients had to say about Mary Sue's first book, "Flavour First—Delicious Food to Bring the Family Back to the Table."

"Ok, so I have just spent ALL night cooking/baking from the delectable discoveries of Mary Sue Waisman in Flavour First!!!

"I made the pumpkin soup for Monday's dinner at my house, and the pumpkin scones (double batch!) for dinner tomorrow at the in-laws (minus a couple I managed to salvage for myself with my TEA!).

"The recipes were easy to follow and yes ... even for a non-soup maker as myself ... FOOLPROOF!"

—Angela Dufour, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

"We had our good friends over for dinner. I cooked your butter chicken recipe again, with your curried broccoli soup and the curried carrots with dates, and made your lemon squares for dessert. 

"The meal was a big hit!  Everyone happily overate. We had some of the chicken left over, so I served it again last night, and my son young commented that I should always make too much of it so that we can have it even more often! And this from a kid who swore he didn't like Indian food."

—Denise Graven, Calgary

"Awesome reviews from my family—even our teenage boys (who are usually motivated by quantity, not quality) are really impressed, and requested to select other great meals from the book.

"I love the menu suggestions and the sidebar tips—can't wait to try many more—it's great to have the family so appreciative at dinner time!!!"

—Carol Atkinson, Calgary.

What Mary Sue Says

"Enjoying delicious food makes it so much easier to linger at the table, while savouring the taste of food and indulging in conversation," says Mary Sue Waisman. "Flavour First is my invitation to food lovers everywhere to join me in preparing delicious meals to take pleasure in around the dinner table as we share stories, impart values, and interact with our family and friends."

"The driving force behind Flavour First is my long-standing belief, based on first-hand evidence, that getting together around the dinner table to enjoy simple and delicious meals makes a real difference in our overall health.

"It's also backed by research which shows that families who eat together have better nutrition and better family relationships. Teenagers who say they eat meals with their families also say they are more likely to go to their parents with problems."

Mary Sue is also the co-author of the best-selling cookbook, "Simply Great Food—250 quick, easy and delicious recipes," published by Dietitians of Canada.
