About the Author

Born of German decent on September 1, 1961, in Philadelphia, Pa, I was married at a young age. I am the mother of two beautiful girls and the grandmother of one. Lorraine is 28, a nurse, and married to Steve, a Philadelphia Police Officer. They have a 10-month old son named Tyler. Jessica, 22, is in school for ultrasound, radiology tech. She also works in a restaurant.

I've been a widow for 18 years. I worked in the food business for 28 years. After being injured on the job in 1998, I am permanently disabled, but I love to cook.

All my family and friends enjoy my cooking and always ask me for recipies. Since everything is in my memory, I started to write them down. Then everyone encouraged me to write a cookbook. I don't have any formal training. My knowledge, experience and creativity comes from my German traditions, working in restaurants and years of practice.

Cooking comes naturally to me . I would like to share these easy recipes with everyone so that they may cook for their children, family and friends to enjoy.

I have two grandchildren- a three year old grandson, a three-month-old granddaughter and two daughters, Jes 22, and Lorraine, 28.
