The Kuchen, the Kuchles, the family dinners.

Bertha’s Easter morning, Aunt Martha’s secret dressing, the recipes we grew up on — shared from the kitchens of aunts, mothers, grandmothers and friends.

Aunt Laura collected every recipe in this cookbook, typed it, handwrote the margin notes, and chose the cover photos. We carry it forward in her honor. Read the letter she sent with the cookbook — “a true labor of love, believe me.”
