You are my greatest luxury.

I have tasted

I have swooned
Heaven on a plate
Best of all…
The privilege of close hand co-creating with magical mary, a dance, a laugh, a heart, a vision, a sharing, poetry plated and served.
Will repeat again and again.
Thank you

Mimi (London)

Alex Rodriguez

Thank you very much for the most delightful evening
…the food was delicious.

Jean-George Vongerichten

I still remember the La Creme recipe you gave me and how EASY it was for me to follow though I have NO skill in the kitchen. It all hinged on the manner in which you wrote it and it made sense to me. And I made it. I felt courageous. And self sustaining. And sexy..

Lori Taylor (bride, Truro, MA)

A true demigoddess of the kitchen is Mary Vyn.
…she filled the kitchen with pots and pans, oils and beans and grains and berries, music and grace and heat, crumbs and puddles and spoons. She invited my children to sample her test batches – yes, she actually made test batches of things in preparation for the party – worked late into the night, and left everything spotless. She spoke of love and camping, travel and books, letter writing and dreams. If I hadn’t already begun thinking of cooking as something close to holy, she would have been my road to Damascus.
Hers is the calm of a hundred birds all taking to the air at once.

You are the heart of our home.

“Mary.

I get those dates
down months ahead of time
then safely … an always present little corner of my brain anticipating
smiles,
laughs,
twinkle in eye,
passion,
new inventions,
the arrangements —
and finally
the
delectable finale
always
surpasses”

Emily Scott
