Mary Janet MacDonald is the most unusual of celebrities. She took Facebook by storm just as much for her warmth and kindness as for her prowess in the kitchen. Her cooking and baking skills were learned at her mother’s apron strings as were mothers before her. She conveys those recipes with a deftness and a recognition of the importance they have played in her life as a mother and grandmother. And to top it off, Mary Janet seems to know or be related to every musician and step dancer in Cape Breton.
