The Work of Edie Clark

*******************************************************

Welcome visitors.

I'm happy to tell you that my new book, Saturday Beans and Sunday Suppers: Kitchen Stories from Mary's Farm, is now available for purchase. I wrote this book for all of you who have responded so warmly to my essays in Yankee and asked for more. Like a pot of beans slowly cooking in a warm oven, the book took shape over the course of the dark winter months, into spring. Writing it was something like what happens in my kitchen when I've got a lot of ingredients to work with and a lot of people to feed. I put it all together and, sometimes, it seems to come out just right, even though what I started with didn't seem like much. Similarly, I found I had many stories that revolved around my favorite dishes, musings on the pleasures of simple, country food, along with recipes from my very well-used collection. The result spans four decades and contains 25 chapters, with recipes for such varied specialties as My Aunt's Fish Chowder, Vermont Baked Beans, Vinegar Cake, Edie's Pizza, Christmas Braid and the exotic Pavlova, fetched from a restaurant in Scotland. The book sells for $14.95 plus $4 s+h and will make a great gift.
We will also do custom ordering, that is, if you send us the name and address of the person you plan to give the book to, we will send it directly to them. (Sorry, no giftwrap available!)

On this site, I’ve posted a variety of articles to show the range of my work as well as information about me and about my book The Place He Made which is currently out of print but about which I continue to receive mail. E-mail me. I have a small inventory of hardcover copies.

All of these books can be found in the "My Books" section of this website along with information about Monadnock Tales, a long narrative poem in celebration of Mount Monadnock and its pilgrims. The book is available for sale through this site or through the Toadstool Bookshops in Peterborough and Keene, NH.

I frequently give talks and workshops. Please click on "Appearances," above, for an updated calendar.

For the past seventeen years, I have produced a monthly column for Yankee magazine. The column is now known as Mary’s Farm, though at one time it was titled The Garden at Chesham Depot. I’ve posted a sampling of this column in the "Mary's Farm" section of this site. As well, there is an opportunity to subscribe to Mary's Farm as an e-mail newsletter, at no charge. Click on "Mary's Farm" above.

At the present time, I am acting as my own agent. I would be interested in syndication of a new column, perhaps of a slightly different nature. In short, I’m eager for new work and ready to take on any challenge laid before me. I am interested in writing assignments for books and magazines as well as any editorial work, all of which I can handle capably and with speed.

Over the years I’ve come to realize that what matters more than anything, more than the publishers, more than the editors, more than the checks they pay me, what matters most are my readers. I love you one and all.
