Contains over 600 German family recipes going back over two hundred years. These recipes have been translated, and the measurements have been converted to American weights and measures. Included is over 50 pages of helpful tips, hints, baking times and temperatures, substitutions, and a full glossary. It also contains hints and variations to various recipes throughout. The cookbook includes recipes developed by family members and by the author over many years. They are recipes from grandmothers, great-grandmothers, aunts, cousins, daughters, and cousins. The recipes took almost fifty years of gathering together to bring this cookbook to fruition. Some had to be updated for more modern tastes while still keeping them true to their origins. The author's parents owned a delicatessen in Brooklyn, New York, and later on Long Island, New York, and from them came wonderful salad and meat recipes. Also included are the catering recipes from the delicatessen and the recipes the author used in her cake decorating and catering businesses. Please enjoy each and every one!
Eleanor Roosevelt never wanted her husband to run for president. When he won, she . . . went on a national tour to crusade on behalf of women. She wrote a regular newspaper column. She became a champion of women's rights and of civil rights. And she decided to write a book." -- Jill Lepore, from the Introduction "Women, whether subtly or vociferously, have always been a tremendous power in the destiny of the world," Eleanor Roosevelt wrote in It's Up to the Women, her book of advice to women of all ages on every aspect of life. Written at the height of the Great Depression, she called on women particularly to do their part -- cutting costs where needed, spending reasonably, and taking personal responsibility for keeping the economy going. Whether it's the recommendation that working women take time for themselves in order to fully enjoy time spent with their families, recipes for cheap but wholesome home-cooked meals, or America's obligation to women as they take a leading role in the new social order, many of the opinions expressed here are as fresh as if they were written today.
This collection of the never-before-seen correspondence of Harry S. Truman and Eleanor Roosevelt sheds important light on the relationship between two giants of 20th century American history. 20 photos.
