Join me on November 15 for a book signing and treat tasting.
I’ll be back at Williams Sonoma in Lincoln Park this month signing both of my cookbooks—A Gift of Cookies and My Life in Pies—and sharing some of my favorite fall treats. I’m making oatmeal cookie sandwiches with pecans and Williams Sonoma’s incredible pumpkin butter. Cookies will be served alongside my Mexican Spicy Hot Chocolate, made extra special with Williams Sonoma’s famous peppermint bark. As always, 100% of proceeds will benefit the Hephzibah Children’s Association and the OPRF Infant Welfare Society. Thank you so much, Williams Sonoma, for having me back! See you there!
November is one of my favorite months in the kitchen!
Some of my favorite fall ingredients are making appearances this month: blue cheese, maple syrup, fresh herbs, and apple cider. Whether you’re looking for a nice weeknight dinner idea or a holiday showstopper, these recipes have you covered!

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!
