      PREFACE

      I never met my great-grandmothers; they both died more than 100 years ago. I did have the great experience of going to Germany when I was 8 years old and meeting my Grandmothers. That was in 1956. I spent 3-½ months there, living on a working farm, collecting eggs, playing with geese and making friends with the pigs and cows. I also learned some really wonderful recipes.

      My aunts shared their bread recipes with me. Watching them make the breads in a long trough was amazing. They would make white, rye, pumpernickel and a sweet bread, suck as raisin cinnamon. They would tell me about when they would take the breads to the town square where there was a huge brick oven. There the baker would bake all the loaves for the town.

      My parents came from an area of Germany that borders Holland. I have recently discovered that some of the recipes handed down from my family are Dutch in origin. Where I could, I put both the German, Dutch and American names for the recipes. Since the area was also occupied by Sweden in the 1700s some recipes could also be Swedish in origin. I am still researching the idea.

      I grew up in Brooklyn, New York where my parents had a Delicatessen. From my Dad I learned how to make those wonderful Deli salads and from my Mom I learned how to make pies, puddings and the meats that Delicatessens are famous for. Dad also had owned an ice cream shop before the Depression and shared some of his ice cream topping recipes with me. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I also included the recipes I used in my catering business and cake decorating and baking business. Some are German in origin, some are not.

      I’m sure that by now you’ve figured out that, including me, my parents and grand and great grand-parents that’s four generations. For this cookbook I’ve also included recipes from my daughters and even my son, hence the subtitle: Five Generations of Family Recipes. I hope you enjoy the recipes that I’ve collected from my family and ones that I’ve developed on my own. Also, with a direct request from my son, I’ve included basic, beginner recipes and cooking tips that he felt are never covered in recipe books.

      My thanks to all who contributed to this book: my cousins; Margret Kayser, Margret Buck, Lorraine Keller, Ellen Kayser; my Aunts: Helen Buck, Mini Brommer, Meta Buck (great Aunt) Anna Roeloffs; my sister-in-law, Gwen; and my grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and to my children: Bethany, Sara and Jason.
