Foreword

This cookbook is a collection of recipes passed from mother to daughter, but also from mother to son, from friend to friend, from neighbor to neighbor, and most of all from heart to heart. I began this project in 2001 transcribing these recipes from my favorite cookbooks and my stained and sometime illegible index cards in hope that my children could someday recreate the meals that they grew up with in their own homes for their own children. In 2019, Volker gave this cookbook a major update. Migrating from old-school printed book to an interactive website where all members of our family can contribute and cook their favorite recipes for generations to come.
