Mary Bryant Shrader

Hi Sweet Friends, I'm Mary from Mary's Nest Cooking School (@MarysNest), where I teach you to make nourishing foods like bone broth, cultured dairy, ferments, and sourdough bread—all using traditional methods. My YouTube channel has 1M+ subscribers and 67M+ views, and I love sharing these time-honored skills! I wrote The Modern Pioneer Cookbook to preserve traditional food wisdom in a printed book you’ll treasure. It’s a bestseller, now in its fifth printing! My second book, The Modern Pioneer Pantry, features 115+ recipes to help you preserve food, stock your pantry, and make wholesome meals. Preorder my new cookbook today! I’m a former New Yorker, now in the Texas Hill Country with my husband, Ted, whom I met 25+ years ago at the Austin airport! Our son, Ben, lives nearby. We have a cuddly yellow lab, Indy (short for Indiana Jones), who’s full of energy and a total snuggle bug. I’m thrilled you’re joining me on this Traditional Foods journey! Love and God Bless, Mary
