Dear friend,

Have you ever followed a recipe exactly – and it still came out wrong?

I have. Just after I got married, I tried an old family fish curry. The recipe said:

“Add a few kokum…” – how many is a few?

I added about thirty. It tasted wonderful. My husband Jose asked for seconds. A few hours later he was in bed for a week.

When he got better, he said: “Why should I be the only one to suffer? Share your recipes – with real measurements.”

That was 2006. That is how MariasMenu began.

Twenty years later, one rule has not changed

Chicken Mappas – in the book

Every recipe I share has exact amounts and clear steps. No “a pinch of this”. No guessing.

Today more than 150,000 people follow MariasMenu. And the recipes they write to me about most are the chicken ones.

So I put the best of them in one small book.

Picture this

Sunday. Guests at one o’clock.

The rice is ready. The appams are soft. Someone takes a second helping, then a third. Then they ask, “Can you send me this recipe?”
