Join me on October 18 for a book signing and treat tasting. I’m serving up two perfect fall treats!
I’ll be back at Williams Sonoma in Lake Forest this month signing both of my cookbooks—A Gift of Cookiesand 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!

Mark your calendars!
I’m excited to invite you to a little get-together—it’s right around the corner, so make sure to save the date! On Saturday, November 8, I’ll be at Hudson Grace in Glencoe for a cozy afternoon of book signing. You’ll get to taste my vanilla sifters and my favorite Italian fig cookies, too.
Comfort, warmth, and a touch of elegance for the autumn table.
Fall is here, and I’m cooking with all the cozy flavors that make this season so special.

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!
