About The Author

For many years, Nancy Taylor Robson wrote garden and travel articles for The Baltimore Sun. In addition, her published work has appeared in House Beautiful, Yachting,The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, Coastal Living, Southern Living, Maryland Magazine, and more. She is a contributing writer for Chesapeake Bay Magazine, and for two years, she was the editor and food and garden writer for the Chestertown Spy and the Talbot Spy, a labor of love that connected her to all things food including so many fabulous recipes for fresh, organic, locally produced food there will never be enough time and energy to try them all. She’s the author of two books – Woman in the Wheelhouse,(Tidewater Publishers), about the 6 years she worked  as a cook/ deckhand and licensed mate on coastal tugs, and Course of the Waterman, the award-winning coming-of-age novel (River City Publishing) set on the fictional Elizabeth River in Mercy County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Robson, an enthusiastic cook and eater, has delighted in creating community by gathering community around a table to share stories, ideas and mutual support — however disparate the politics of those involved — and of course good food and wine, a nurturing tradition that is as old as humanity. Warmth, food and companionship. What more do we need in life?
