My Mama Marie

By Joan Errea

My Mama Marie is the loving, funny, moving, heartwarming, and sometimes heartbreaking story of Marie Jeanne Paris ne Goyhenetche. Marie Jeanne, raised in the Pyrenees village of Banca, migrated to the lonely little town of Currie, Nevada. There she met Arnaud Paris, the author's beloved Aita. Faced with a range of challenges, the classically trained chef Marie not only persevered but excelled, raising a family and building a life on the frontier. In addition to Errea's account is of her own childhood on ranches, in one-room schoolhouses, and at sheep camps, the book includes her mother Marie's recipes, adapted from her training in the Basque Country to years of cooking at sheep camps and for her family.
