Download or read book Mama's Cookbook written by Mary Gerstner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My mother was a German immigrant who came to the US after her marriage in 1929. Her cookbook contained recipes handwritten in German and newspaper clippings she collected through the 1960's. I have transcribed and translated the German writing as well as the clippings. It turned out to be a memoir of sorts for me as each recipe or clipping triggered bits of kitchen nostalgia for me. Since the cookbook has deteriorated I am publishing it so that those that come after Mama and me will have a glimpse of what life was like for her.
