My mother-in-law was one of the greatest cooks I've ever known. I realized early on that I could never match her roast beef or her fabulous turkey stuffing. And why should I try? After all, I married her "Schottzerle" her treasure. I did not want to take away her status as queen of the kitchen. Visits to her house always brought forth the most perfectly sliced rare roast beef and my family was generous with their praise.
Mama is gone now and I still can't match her roast beef or her turkey stuffing but I do not want her recipes to be lost, so I will begin this cookbook with recipes from Mama's kitchen along with some from other relatives and friends which are so good that I just stand in awe.
