Guest Speaker:
Merry Graham Merry Graham is a Southern California awardwinning home cook, published author, mother of 4, grandma to 7, and a passionate lover of Jesus and anything food-related. A self-taught cook, Merry was 20-something when she first started out, helping her local church prepare meals from a basket of unknown (donated) ingredients. On a whim, she began entering cooking contests and has been blessed to win. In 2012, she was named “The Healthiest Cook in America” at the Aetna Healthy Food Fight by Bobby Flay, and she has appeared on Food Network's Clash of the Grandmas (2015), on The Rachael Ray Show's Great American Cookbook Competition as a Top 3 finalist (2014), and on the World Food Championships (2012-2017). Merry can often be found in her Santa Clarita kitchen, creating a tasty new recipe, hosting a women’s luncheon, teaching a youth group how to cook, or praying with a hurting soul while feeding them. Marry says, “We are so blessed to be His vessels no matter if it is a prayer that is flowing through us or a delicious meal for one to behold.” Merry’s passion is to reach the culture for Christ.
