Mary Mammoliti has had a remarkable trajectory, from financial professional to trailblazing chef, speaker, and disability advocate, she has redefined what it means to thrive against all odds. Legally blind due to Retinitis Pigmentosa, Mary has transformed her kitchen into a platform for empowerment, proving that limitations are no barrier to passion and creativity. As the founder of Kitchen Confession and the host of Accessible Media Inc.’s groundbreaking series Dish with Mary, she is a beacon of inspiration, advocacy, and culinary excellence.
Born in Toronto and raised in a warm, southern-Italian household, Mary’s early years were steeped in the rich traditions of food as an expression of love and connection. When her eyesight deteriorated, she turned to cooking not only as a form of self-reliance but as a source of healing. At her most vulnerable, Mary found strength in the simple act of creating one recipe at a time, reclaiming her independence and discovering renewed joy in life.
Through Kitchen Confession, Mary offers an online haven of accessible and flavorful recipes, inspiring home cooks of all abilities. The platform’s success led to the launch of the Kitchen Confession Podcast, where Mary interviews culinary personalities and explores the intersections of food, culture, and accessibility. Her engaging storytelling and advocacy have earned her a biweekly spot on the Kelly and Company radio show and expert appearances on daytime television shows.
