Mary Bryant Shrader

Hi Sweet Friends,

I'm Mary from Mary's Nest Cooking School (MarysNest), where I show you how to make nourishing foods, including bone broth, cultured dairy, ferments, sourdough bread, and lots more! My YouTube channel currently has over 1 Million subscribers and over 55 million video views. I wrote The Modern Pioneer Cookbook to keep these traditional food skills alive in a printed book you can keep as an essential reference in your kitchen library. It's a bestseller and already in its second printing!

I am a former New Yorker, now living in the Texas Hill Country with my sweet husband Ted, who I met over 25 years ago at the Austin airport! We have one son, Ben, who lives close by and visits often.

I have had dogs all my life and adore them! Right now, we have a sweet yellow lab named Indy, short for Indiana Jones. (Our last dog was named Obi-Wan.) He is so much fun to have around and is a complete snuggle bug!

I hope you enjoy my new cookbook, and I am so happy you are joining me on this traditional foods journey!

Love and God Bless,

Mary
