Nope, there's no author listed. When Eddie gets a look at a few pages, he'll notice a variety of handwriting styles, notes added in margins, lines scribbled out and replaced... It seems that this is more of a "family recipe" kind of book that's been passed down through time rather than a book with any singular author. Merta inherited the book from her grandmother, and that's all she's willing to divulge on the subject.
