Tunes and Wooden Spoons III: Come In, the Kettle's On! - Paperback

by Mary Janet MacDonald (Author), Margie MacDonald (Photographer)

In 2020, during the middle of the COVID pandemic, Mary Janet MacDonald from Port Hood, Cape Breton, Canada became an international Facebook sensation with her show, Tunes and Wooden Spoons. In 2021, her first book, Tunes and Wooden Spoons: Recipes from a Cape Breton Kitchen, became a national bestseller. She followed that up in 2022 with her second book, Tunes and Wooden Spoons: Love Without Measure.

She's back with the third and final book in the trilogy. In Tunes and Wooden Spoons: Come In, the Kettle's On!, Mary Janet and her daughter, Margie, take us on an incredible culinary journey into several Canadian-Maritime kitchens where they find good company and tasty food. Come In, the Kettle's On!, grandmothers and grandfathers from throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island invite us into their kitchens where they share their secrets to healthy eating and strong families.

From the 102-year-old grandmother in Pomquet who is still making rolls for family and friends to home cooks and bakers in Halifax, Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton, Miramichi, Janeville (near Bathurst), and the small fishing Acadian village of Shippigan, you'll enjoy incredible visits with inspirational people as well as delicious Maritime foods!

At every house, Mary Janet and Margie met at the door and were invited to "come in" and have a cup of tea. They visited with humble bakers, widowed seniors who needed time to chat, and others on fire with their baking. Their hearts (and bellies) were filled at every stop.

If you enjoyed the first two books in the Tunes and Wooden Spoons series, then this book is a "must have" for fans of Mary Janet MacDonald. So come on in, the kettle's on!
