Marie Nightingale (1928–15 March 2014) was a Canadian cookbook writer from Nova Scotia, best known for her 1970 cookbook Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens.[1]
Biography
Marie Nightingale was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1928 to parents Raymond and Violette Johnston (née Loner).[2][3] Before she began writing, she worked in radio as a women's commentator on CHNS and CJCH in Halifax and CFAB in Windsor.[3]
Nightingale's Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens, first published in 1970, has sold more copies than any other Nova Scotian cookbook. The 40th edition of the book was published in 2010.[4] The book's popularity provided Nightingale opportunities as a food columnist, and she had a long and celebrated career writing for The Chronicle Herald and the Mail-Star. She was the founding food editor for Saltscapes Magazine.[3]
Following the success of Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens, Nightingale wrote three more cookbooks across her career: Marie Nightingale's Favourite Recipes (1993), Out of Nova Scotia Gardens (1997), and Cooking with Friends (2003).[3]
Nightingale died from cancer on 15 March 2014, at the age of 85.[4][5]
