Marie Porter (nee Marie Routhier) is a Canadian-born food writer now living in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
A descendant of Adolphe-Basile Routhier, who wrote the original French lyrics to "O Canada", she grew up in a poor, single mom family. At eleven years old, she learned to sew her own skating costumes. Then she moved onto formal and bridal fashion design, until she lost interest.
