Kathryn's Kitchen (Author Signed Copy)
188 Family-Favorite Recipies

Back Cover

KATHRYN'S KITCHEN IS A COMPILATION OF RECIPES passed down from Nancy's ancestors, shared from friends and family, gathered from exotic places that she traveled, and some from her own creation. As Nancy contends, "there is generally nothing innovative found in most cookbooks. A carrot was a carrot 100 years ago and is still a carrot today." She brings her wit and humor to each introduction of the 183 recipes found in the nine food sections. Other informative chapters include what to serve on certain holidays and celebrations. There is even a special recipe for our readers' feline friends.
What makes Kathryn's Kitchen unique from other cookbooks is Nancy's c0-authors, Amelia and Eleanor. They are her much-loved feline companions who add practical tips to many of the incredibly tasty dishes such as Beef Stew Extraordinaire, Sicilian Beef Roll, and All Family Kugeloph, a recipe that has been in the family since 1832. There is even a fantastic fruitcake recipe named for Eleanor and Amelia found in the dessert section.
In her down-to-earth style, Nancy shares stories from her childhood, teaching career and traveling experiences. There are insightful quotes and historical trivia blended throughout that help make it a one-of-a-kind cookbook.
From her love and passion for cooking, Nancy has taken on the publishing world writing Kathryn's Kitchen her way and in her unique style. After all, Nancy is from the "Greatest Generation" and readers will not only acquire delicious recipes but will meet an incredible octogenarian who embraces life and believes in the motto "one truly is never to old to follow their dreams." After all, Nancy did parachute out of an airplane on her 80th birthday. Bon Appetite!
