She was from Swiss extraction and Canadian birth, married to a Pole, so it may be a bit skewered. I *do* recall that it was Very Good! Her recipes, on the other hand, make me tear out my hair trying to decipher! As you will notice, some ingredients have no quantities and there are mostly no cooking times. |
