S3 EP 147: Mary Martha Greene, Cookbook Author of The Cheese Biscuit Queen Tells All
Join the conversation, text us now.
Hello Happy People,
Mary Martha Greene is not a cookbook author by profession. It's a passion project inspired by family traditions and a desire to honor the women who created them. It also gives her a change of pace from her day job. Growing up, Mary was heavily influenced by her family. She spent a lot of time by her grandmother’s side when she was in the kitchen. Watching the women in her family, Mary dreamed of doing something creative for her career. Mary loved to cook and bake and considers her return to the kitchen as a homecoming of sorts.
Her father was a family court judge and was very involved in politics. Her father would have a great influence on Mary's future. After returning home at the end of her first semester of college — where she was studying business at her father's suggestion — Mary was informed she would soon be reporting to the state house to be a page. From that moment, her career path was virtually set.
It would be many years before Mary found herself taking the time to get creative in the kitchen again. She credits yet another family member for inspiring her move to become a cookbook author. Her second oldest goddaughter was getting ready to go off for a semester at sea, but she had a request before she left. She wanted her aunt Mae-Mae to teach her how to cook.
As Mary began to search for the family recipes, other people came forward to request a copy of her collection for themselves. Mary started to consider taking her project to a wider audience. On a whim she suggested to a friend to ask the University of South Carolina Press if they would be interested in publishing her cookbook ... they were.
Don't wait, go listen now to all the amazing personal stories behind this cookbook. Then check out Book Banter Magazine for her free holiday recipe.
