About MaryTasty.com
Welcome to MaryTasty.com, a blog built on the belief that cooking is a joyful, creative act that brings people together. At the center of our story are two spirited food lovers: Mary and her daughter, Camie. Through their unique bond, they share recipes, tips, and culinary adventures designed to inspire every home cook—beginner or pro alike.
Meet Mary Thompson
Mary Thompson is the creative force behind Mary Tasty, a blog dedicated to reimagining classic dishes with a fresh, modern twist. A passionate foodie, Mary has been experimenting in the kitchen for as long as she can remember, always looking for new ways to add creativity to traditional favorites. Her mission is simple: to inspire confidence and curiosity in every home cook, encouraging you to explore new flavors and put your own unique spin on time-honored recipes.
Meet Camie Taylor
Mary’s daughter, joined MaryTasty.com after her own journey of discovery. Growing up, Camie was always drawn to the magic of spices and fresh ingredients in her mother’s kitchen. Later, her time studying abroad expanded her culinary horizons, motivating her to share global flavors with the MaryTasty.com community. Camie’s enthusiasm for bold tastes and new techniques complements Mary’s traditional approach, resulting in a delicious blend of past and present.
A Kitchen Memory: 20 Years Ago
The third photo captures a treasured snapshot of Mary and a much-younger Camie in the kitchen from 20 years ago. Camie was just tall enough to peek over the counter as they baked their very first batch of cookies together. That day, flour dusted their aprons—and the floor!—but laughter filled the house. This small, sweet moment planted the seed for their lifelong passion: exploring new recipes, laughing through mishaps, and cherishing the quality time that cooking provides. Now, they invite you to join in the fun and create your own meaningful food memories.
