Kvasnak Home Cooking
This is a cookbook that you will not find on amazon. Neither Border’s nor Barnes & Noble sell it. These are the original recipes – most of them handwritten by my Mom – that have fed hungry Kvasnaks for many years.
Maybe you remember some of these dishes now that you read them. They may be things that you remember from long, long ago and have forgotten. Maybe you have some others that I did not find. I had to call cousin Andrea to get the recipe for Mushroom Soup.
In order for us to better communicate about any additions that you may want to make, I have started a blog at www.kvasnkahomecooking.blogspot.com where you can add through comments.
The idea came to me this year while staying with my parents. Mom loves her Frozen Fruit Salad for Christmas dinner. And every year up until now, she has prepared it. This year she will not be able to because she is bedridden. So I wanted to make it for her. In the kitchen I found her treasure trove of recipes. And then I suddenly thought that all of you would want these recipes, too.
In a family that is as diverse as is ours and so spread apart, there is little that binds us together – but food does.
I hope that you enjoy this little book. It is not fancy. It is a statement all of its own about who we are and where we came from. Like Grandma Pine used to say: “Sag mir was du ißt und ich sage dir wer du bist!” (Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.)
I send you this book with the wish for peace and love.
