The Metrowest Daily News recently wrote about Mary Pauplis, host of "Cooking Adventures" and a longtime WCCA supporter.

Growing up as a child in Maynard, Pauplis spent every Saturday with her mother, two aunts, and her grandmother making pasta.

"We were just little children, so we could only do the little things, like straighten out the pasta," said Pauplis. "Finally, after asking to cook, my mom said OK, and gave me a little rolling pin, which I still have today."
