Marian ""Tutu"" Morey was born and raised in Hawaii during World War II and during the years leading up to Hawaii's statehood. She's lived on the East Coast for most of her adult life, where she raised her large family. Morey is mother to many, grandmother to many more, and she has newly been made a great-grandmother. She's been cooking since she was knee-high to a grape, and she still loves to cook every day! She currently makes Eastern Maryland her home with her husband Ken, where she is happiest working on a quilt and feeding her family, friends, and the local wildlife.
