Baba’s Cook Book

Ever since I was a young girl, I loved to help Mom in the kitchen. Growing up in a family of eleven, there always seemed to be something cooking at all times. From mouth-watering, fresh bread baked in the outdoor oven, to the pots of wholesome soups bubbling on the woodstoves, to roasters of creamed chicken, cabbage rolls and fresh berry pies tucked in the oven, these memories remain vivid in my mind and heart as everyone had an indirect part in the preparation of the meals.Bringing in the milk and cream, gathering of eggs, picking garden vegetables and wild berries to butchering our own meat and poultry were never chores but an opportunity to help one another of the family and assist, indirect­ly, in the preparation of the meals.My place on the farm was in the house, right in the kitchen, helping and learning the “secrets” and “basics” in making the food tasty and delicious. Over the years, I have always sought out good food and the recipes that came with them. Through the vast travels with my family, I have compiled a wealth of special recipes along with the traditional favorites that I grew up with. Many recipes here have been shared with you by friends, family and neighbours. With a common love of eating tasty food, I present to you – “Baba’s Cook Book”.Contents: Traditional Ukrainian Christmas Eve Dishes – Ukrainian Easter Breakfast – Soups – Meats and Casseroles – Fish – Bread and Buns – Cakes and Tortes – Squares -Cookies – Pastry and Pies – Canning and Pickles – Icings – Salads – Desserts – Household HintsPublisher: Vegreville Floral BoutiqueSpiral Bound, Softcover Vintage 2003
