Be Transported Back to Your Grandmother's Kitchen

Do you recall a time as a child when your grandmother's kitchen was the only place you wanted to be? It was sure to be filled with the aroma of her wonderfully tasty comfort foods made with love. And what child could resist that? Experience "living life the old fashioned way" with Elizabeth Rose von Hohen's collection of delicious recipes, memories, wildflower watercolors and feelings from the heart.

Originally published in 1990, Grandmother's Cookbook was created by Elizabeth and I, (her granddaughter) Carrie J. Gamble, to preserve the treasured recipes she had made over the years. Her hope is that "all of these special old fashioned recipes will not become a lost art." Click here to order your copy now.

There are chapters on: Soups, Breads, Dumplings and Noodles, Appetizers and Salads, Meats and Vegetables, Desserts and Christmas Specialties. Your family will love these delicious recipes! You will be surprised how easy they are using basic ingredients.

The most recent edition published in 2008 includes the "A Family Love Letter" chapter. It is a reprinted feature article originally published in Country Home magazine. It details the creation of Grandmother's Cookbook and describes Elizabeth's fascinating life and love of family, cooking and nature. We received thousands of letters in response to this article. The letters shared a common theme: "After reading this article, I just KNEW I had to have a copy of this cookbook!" Vintage family photos have been added including one of infant Elizaberth Rose shortly after her birth on April 1, 1909.  Please enjoy the entire chapter and sample recipes by clicking the above link.

Grandmother's Cookbook recipes reflect traditional American country cooking. You'll find Fried Chicken, Buttermilk Biscuits, Cucumber Salad, Southern Potato Salad, Lemon Sponge Pie just to name a few. There are recipes from Elizabeth's German-Hungarian mother, Anna Griffaton, who brought them over from the old country. Mother's Pot Roast, Hungarian Goulash and Bread Dumplings have been made hundreds of times. How can you forget those tried and true family treasures? Click here to order your copy of Grandmother's Cookbook and enjoy all of our family favorites!

At fifteen Elizabeth left her family's farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania to work in a doctor's residence in Philadelphia. She mastered gourmet recipes as taught by her boss, Mrs. Strauss. Elizabeth loved telling stories of working for the Strauss family! All of her experiences fostered a love of cooking in Elizabeth. Her family enjoyed decades of feasts from her vast repertoire of recipes. Who could forget her Feather Bed Rolls . . . so soft and slightly sweet? And mouthwatering desserts like Butterscotch Pie, Brandied Peaches or Pull Apart Cake. Do you remember eating dessert no matter how full you were from dinner?

Our heirloom cookbook, also referred to as a family history cookbook, is filled with nostalgia. In the end Grandmother's Cookbook not only preserves Elizabeth's delicious recipes, but captures a slice of her family's history and the love they had for each other. Isn't it wonderful to have the memories of your grandmother in her kitchen? There was a "magic" to those times which can never be duplicated. "Over the river and through the woods . . ." are memories I treasure.

Why not grab a copy of the famous Grandmother's Cookbook right now? You won't find a better way to grow cherished memories in the minds of the children who visit your home. Your nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will gather in your kitchen like bees to a honeycomb and they won't even know why. ;-)
