My new pie cookbook is here!
It’s been a few years in the making, and I’m overjoyed to announce that my new cookbook, “My Life in Pies: Sweet and Savory Recipes Inspired by Family & Friends,” has finally arrived. This delightful baking companion is full to the brim with incredible recipes you and your whole family will love—just in time for the holiday season.
This January, I’m celebrating wholesome, flavorful recipes that will nourish your soul and bring a little lightness to your plate.
From comforting mains to indulgent treats, there’s something for everyone on this month’s menu! Plus, all of my January recipes are gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan, too. Whether you’re looking for a gluten-free alternative, hungry for Italian-inspired favorites, or just want to try something new, these recipes are all about creative cooking and inclusive meals that are fun for everyone at the table.
My Baked Ratatouille in a Cast Iron Skillet is a perfect one-pot recipe. It’s gluten-free and vegan too!
Brighten up the winter table with the vibrant flavors of my baked ratatouille recipe. Made in a cast iron skillet and inspired by my mom’s love for veggies, this gorgeous dish is as stunning as it is satisfying. Layered with care and baked to perfection, it’s a comforting, one-pot dinner idea that pairs beautifully with crusty bread, creamy polenta, or even a simple side of rice. I hope you love this one as much as I do!

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!
