Finding Grandma: A Sentimental Journey Through 1920s Columbia County Recipes

Mary Beth Wenger

4.9/5 (9449 ratings)

Description:Have you ever been transported to another time and place merely by holding a well-worn artifact in your hands? Author Mary Beth Wenger, longtime Albany-area TV news anchor and reporter, would have jumped at the chance to cover a news scoop this juicy during her broadcasting career, but this time it turns out the story is her very own. Finding A Sentimental Journey Through 1920s Columbia County Recipes is the unique story of a modern woman’s bittersweet search for the grandmother she never knew. Stumbling over a hidden legacy left behind by Grandma Edna in an authentic 1920s recipe collection, the author embarked on a voyage of discovery. The turn of every crumbling, yellowed page unlocked mysteries, as she uncovered recipes either handwritten or snipped from newspapers, often affixed with straight pins to the pages! This was an unexpected springboard into the past, spurring a nostalgic journey that jumps back and forth from the 1920s to the 21st century. Chapters bear titles of actual recipes that could have sprung from Dickens novels like “Gramma Coons’ Sugar Cookies,” “Pickle Mrs. Barringer,” or “Lottie’s Hot Waffles”. Some recipes have been updated for baking in modern kitchens. The book also preserves a fascinating Hudson Valley language (Do you know what it means to “file the stoop”? Or to be “youncy”?) This is at once a scrapbook, a history lesson, a cookbook, a poignant personal story and a preservation of a bygone way of life and language from the Hudson Valley during the “Roaring Twenties”.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
