These recipes were collected
over a number of years and from many sources. A few are from
a hundred or so books left to me by my dear friend, Doris Ketner,
who died in September of 2005, after a lengthy battle with cancer.
I have barely scratched the surface of her treasured collection.
Some of Mama's favorites
are here too, and there's a wine recipe that came from Germany
with Grandma Frieda in 1891. Every time I prepare their recipes,
these loved ones return to my kitchen.
