About the author

Marie Theresa Caroselli Smith (1933-1987) was born and raised in Jersey City. In 1954 she married Hubert Gary Smith, an officer in the US Army. After Smith's husband's retirement from the army, he worked as a test pilot for Piper Aircraft in Vero Beach, Florida. His promotion to chief test pilot precipitated the family's move to Lakeland. Her two daughters grown and her husband frequently traveling for work, it became necessary for Smith to re-learn how to cook all of the things she loved without all of the waste that her previous full-sized recipes produced when prepared for only one person. Smith was an active volunteer in her community of Lakeland, Florida, and frequently gave microwave cookery classes through the Displaced Homemakers program. Her daughter Tracy carries on her legacy and still receives letters from grateful homemakers.
