About this title

About the Author

Marilyn McFarlane, raised in a devoutly religious family, always had an interest in the diversity of world faiths. During her journeys as an author and travel writer, Marilyn continued her education by exploring sacred sites Hindu temples in India, European cathedrals, Buddhist shrines, neo-Pagan altars, mosques in Morocco, and many more.

With the firm belief that understanding others faiths can lead to tolerance, acceptance, and peace, and an equally firm belief in the power of story, Marilyn wrote "Sacred Stories". A mother and grandmother, she lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband, two cats, and many books.

From Publishers Weekly

Shocked by her widowed mother's poor eating habits, travel author McFarlane (Quick Escapes to the Pacific Northwest) was inspired to put together this collection of over 190 simple, "healthy" recipes. Most recipes are straightforward, scaled down standards like meat loaf, stuffed peppers and French onion soup. Unfortunately, more than a few give pause. For instance, McFarlane's Pineapple Danish, made by spreading cream or cottage cheese on a slice of whole wheat toast, topping it with a dollop of canned pineapple and a dusting of nutmeg and cinnamon, then broiling, is about as far from a Danish as one can get. Beef 'N Beans, an otherworldly concoction of beef, beans, pineapple, brown sugar and catsup could well be described as depression on a plate. And her Frozen Banana-wrap a ripe banana in plastic wrap, freeze it, then thaw slightly before eating-is hardly a recipe. Though supplemented with advice on topics like decreasing sodium intake and conserving energy ("cook enough for more than one meal" on days when you have more energy), the recipes' hit-and-miss quality suggest readers would be better served elsewhere.
