Jessica Ward Quotations

I did not make up the recipes, I simply used a lot of the recipes I have used for years and years and asked for recipes from other people. It's uncomplicated cooking. These are really the recipes we have known and loved and the reason they're in this cookbook is because they're comforting, and that's what we need when there's been a death.

Some of the great success of the book belongs to Nancy Marion, who gave us our look.

And it's been such a success. It's beyond what we could have expected. I think it's just wonderful that in the town this size we have (Marion) and Service Printing, which could produce this book. And it's also the right size town to help; people buy it and read it and send it to their friends.
