During a visit with my daughter, Jennifer, Christmas 2001, we talked about different recipes from family and friendsA[a–alo these many years! Every time I turned to a certain recipe, I would remember the loved one who had given it to me, IA[a–a[d see her or his face, think of the times we spent together, and smile. So, it is with a great deal of love and joy that I dedicate this collection to them, and to Jennifer for the idea! Sadly, most have passed on, but they and their creativity will always live in my heart. Thank you, dear ones, for your willingness to share.
