A Message from Maryann

Growing up on the East Coast in a large, close-knit Italian-Irish family, I developed a love for cooking and entertaining at an early age. My passion for preparing healthy dishes and memorable dining experiences for family and friends led me to create recipes. Eventually, I began to write and produce TV cooking segments for entertainment and lifestyle series on such broadcast outlets as Cable News Network, Lifetime, USA Network, Time Warner Cable, and PBS-TV (KVCR-TV in Southern California). I also served as a food and lifestyle writer and editor at many magazines and newspapers (Ventura County Star, Palm Springs Life, Desert Magazine, Los Angeles Magazine, etc.). I guess you can say that my lifelong passion for writing, cooking, entertaining with family and friends, and pursuing living creatively with joy finally gave birth to “Simply Delicious Living.”
