My Collection of Recipes from Across America and Germany

This is not a professionally written cookbook but is a representation of homegrown family cooking. Minus a few corporate-inspired recipes and one professional carrot cake recipe, my little book of kitchen recipes is a collection of hand-me-down family recipes from one generation to the next.

The design of this book has been left plain because, in the author's opinion, too many illustrations cause distractions in the kitchen. It is his hope that, by providing the space to enter a recipe or alter an existing one, more people will take up cooking again and continue to pass these and other recipes on to future generation.
