Mary Ward's search for the perfect cup of coffee began on her farm near Upper Sandusky, Ohio, and has taken her to English coffee houses, French cafes, Italian espresso bars, manufacturing facilities in Holland, and coffee farms in Costa Rica. Mary has taught millions of Americans how to brew the perfect cup of coffee on such television programs as "Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee". As a home economist, food styulist, nutrition consultant and member of the Specialty Coffee Association of America, Mary has combined her many interests to provide a genuinely unique collection of coffee recipes.
