A Gift of Cookies: Recipes to Share with Family & Friends, Interior Detail of Tips for Best Baking Tools

For the Joy of Making and the Art of Giving

I’m delighted to share that I’ll be hosting a special holiday book-signing pop-up on Wednesday, December 17, from 4–6 PM at 1913 Restaurant, 123 Main St., Roselle, IL 60172.

If you’re shopping for the bakers and cooks in your life, this is the perfect opportunity to pick up a signed cookbook. Even better—100% of the proceeds will benefit two local children’s charities, a cause close to my heart.

Winter is here, and I’m celebrating with lots of hearty, savory recipes.

What better way to get cozy than with some good cooking, right? This month’s recipes are wonderful on holiday spreads—but I also plan to enjoy them all winter long. This is a season for relaxing and enjoying each other’s company!

Hi, I'm Mary DiSomma.

I’ve been baking since I was a little girl. In fact, my Italian-American grandmother, mother, and aunts taught me everything I know. They were my "cooking school." In the kitchens of the women in my family, I inherited the tips and tricks of the generations. I continue cooking and baking their recipes to this day. In fact, I still make over 7,000 cookies every year just to give away to family and friends during the holidays!

Measuring cups and spoons are hands down the most stunning baking utensils you will come across. They are accurate measurements, but aside from using them for baking, I enjoy having them displayed on my open shelves in my kitchen. I frequently receive compliments on them!

I highly suggest purchasing the measuring cup set. As with all of Mary’s products, every detail has been considered. The overall design is gorgeous with every cup having a distinctive pattern. The measuring amount, e.g. ½ cup is labeled on the handle which is very easy to see. The cups nest and come in exquisite packaging. I’m going to buy many more as gifts.

Ready to set the table with distinction, the four napkins are beauties. With Mary’s signature color scheme of blues, green, and purple, these linen lovelies will make any ladies' luncheon complete. Each one is large at 20" square and embroidered with four different floral designs. I can’t wait to use them. I might just show them off by tucking one in the shirt collar instead of hiding it in my lap!
