Mary C. Summers

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me! My name is Mary C. Summers, and I’ve spent the last 15 years combining my passion for flavorful food and my dedication to healthier living into something I’m truly proud to share: writing cookbooks that inspire healthier, happier lives. With a background in Nutrition Science and a certification as a Health and Wellness Coach, I’ve always been fascinated by how the foods we eat impact our overall well-being. My journey began in the kitchen of my childhood home, watching my mother transform simple ingredients into delicious meals for our family. Over the years, I’ve learned how to recreate that magic while making each dish nourishing and supportive of a healthier lifestyle. Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with individuals looking to make meaningful changes in their diets, whether it was managing weight, addressing chronic health conditions, or simply feeling better each day. This hands-on experience has taught me one vital lesson: eating well doesn’t have to mean giving up the joy of food. My books aim to bring that balance to your table—delicious meals that you’ll love, crafted with your health in mind. When I’m not developing recipes or writing, you’ll likely find me experimenting with new flavors in my own kitchen, hiking with my rescue dog, Charlie, or hosting small gatherings where good food and great conversation take center stage. My cookbooks are designed to be more than just collections of recipes—they’re a reflection of my belief that everyone deserves to enjoy the benefits of a healthier diet without feeling deprived. I hope they inspire you to embrace cooking as an act of self-care, discovery, and joy. Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey toward a healthier, tastier life! Here’s to enjoying every bite. Warm regards, Mary C. Summers Certified Nutrition Specialist | Health and Wellness Coach | Cookbook Author
