Welcome, I’m Marilyn

As a bestselling cookbook author and creator of the recipes on Smashing Eats, I love to create flavorful, comforting recipes. My intent is to create recipes that can easily be recreated at home with everyday ingredients and are simple to prepare. Yup! – that’s me geeking out in Julia Child’s TV set kitchen.
