The Story
Mary Boll, better known as "MeMa" has been cooking for as long as she can remember. One of seven children, she learned to cook from her mother, who was very skilled in the kitchen. A mother of three herself (and grandmother of eight!) MeMa compiled all of her favorite recipes as a project for her kids, who were constantly calling her for family recipes. The rest, as they say, is history, as "MeMa's Manna" has sold over 13,000 copies since it was originally printed in 2004. Mary has been married to Don Boll for nearly 50 years.
