“Gutes Essen: Good Eating in German-Russian Country” is a great reminder of the time I spend in my mother’s kitchen. For me, this was a long time ago, but I will never forget the wonderful food that came out of that kitchen. This cookbook now contains and preserves the ‘old’ recipes for future generations. I also enjoyed seeing photos of the old favorities along with copies of the original hand-written recipe cards. Gutes Essen will have a special place in my collection of cookbooks and I will enjoy sharing it will my family.” - Virginia (Hieb) Wanzek, native of Denhoff, ND
