A combination of German-Russian family recipes and family history. "How will your children remember you?" The author uses family recipes and anecdotes to provide a means of building a bond with ones children and grandchildren.
Growing up in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, Anna Dalhaimer Bartkowski caught the genealogy bug early. She loved and loved going to libraries to read old newspaper obituaries on microfiche and became a family heirloom collector.
She graduated from Marquette University earning her BA in Journalism and Marketing and worked in newspaper advertising for years. A career move to Arizona brought her back to actively researching her family tree and writing their stories.
To celebrate her heritage she wrote Dead Reckoning – A Rosalind Schmidt Genealogical Mystery, Value Meals on the Volga, Maggie Visits Grandpa, Maggie Visits Argentina, and Grebel & Gemütlichkeit.
A fun, fun cookbook. Being French and Italian I was a little leary to expand my jaded culinary horizons to *shudder* German Russian cuisine, but I was pleasantly surprised about how delicious this food is. Especially since it is easy to make. I also enjoyed the anecdotes and was reminded of my own grandparents.
