In the late 1920s new bride Elizabeth poses for
a photo outside her first apartment in downtown Philadelphia. She loved cooking for her husband, Erwin. He'd kiss her every night to thank her for a delicious meal!

“The family cookbook is like a long love letter to one's family ~ a paean in praise of hearth, heritage, and home. Grandmother's Cookbook springs from two people, but it speaks volumes with a singular voice about a family's life. They are Elizabeth's words and recipes, but Carrie has infused them with
her soul.
Its pages are embellished by the watercolors of the wildflowers Elizabeth
picked with her child's hands, lovingly painted by Carrie's steady ones.
A small story or reminiscence written by Elizabeth accompanies each one.
Like the best kind of letter, Grandmother's Cookbook is written by hand from the heart. It has flowers pressed between its pages as a true love letter should ~ and like all love letters, it will be taken out and read over and over again.”
Country Home Magazine
"This homey little volume, with its simple spiral binding, hand-lettering,
and watercolor illustrations, has become a kind of cult classic among cookbooks . . . Part of the appeal of this book is how completely unslick it is: you can't fake this kind of homespun charm. The other part of its appeal is
that the recipes are easy, dependable and utterly iconic versions of early twentieth century cuisine. Grandmother's Cookbook is as much of a
historical artifact as a cookbook."
Laura Hagar, Host of "Mouthful" Radio Program
“Grandmother's Cookbook is a great concept for a book in this day and age when family values and heritage are so important.”
Better Homes and Gardens
“Elizabeth Rose von Hohen kneaded and cut thousands of Hungarian noodles over the decades, following a recipe that existed in her mind's eye and in her practiced hands.”
The Associated Press
“A treasure of remembered tastes and a beautiful tribute to the special relationship that can exist between a grandmother and her grandchild.”
The Monterey County Herald
“It is a warm and loving book, one you would want to pass down to a new generation starting fresh. It sings with the tradition and heart of a real home. The recipes are easy and easy to like.”
The Princeton Packet
“Charming is a modest word to use for this tastefully produced Grandmother's Cookbook of, yes, grandmother's recipes . . . Together grandmother and granddaughter have created the sort of book you handle with just that special sort of love. What Carrie couldn't say, Elizabeth filled out. And what Elizabeth couldn't do, Carrie brought to creation.”
The Book Reader, Capitola, CA
