Mary Ann Esposito

The Meet the Chefs Cooking Series has been a staple of the Dickson & McGonigle, Inc. home and garden shows for the past five years. The series features some of the finest chefs masterfully creating their favorite dishes.
This year we are pleased to announce we have added Mary Ann Esposito, the creator and host of the PBS series, Ciao Italia, television’s longest running cooking show, to our long list of fine chefs.
As Esquire Magazine Food Critic, John Mariani recently said when describing her as one of the finest chefs on television, “Mary Ann Esposito, now in her eighteenth season, is the Italian mama you always wished you had. Sweet, accessible, and intolerant of shortcuts or substitutions, Mary Ann truly wants to make you happy. You can almost feel her take your hand, push it into the pasta dough, and roll it as her ancestors have for centuries.”
Meredith Bickford, Mrs. Maine America

Meredith Bickford, Mrs. Maine America will make a guest appearance at the show Sunday from 11-3PM.
