Foreward

Foreword 2023

Welcome to our family cookbook—a collection of recipes that celebrates the tradition and spirit of Grandma Evelyn Hert. In 2004, she shared this treasured compilation with us, preserving the meals that marked our celebrations, comforted us in quiet moments, and brought us together around the table. These recipes carry more than flavors; they hold the essence of our family's shared history.

In 2018, we said goodbye to Grandma Evelyn, but her legacy lives on in these pages. Her passion for cooking and her belief in the power of gathering over good food continue to inspire us. This cookbook is not just about recipes; it’s about connection, memories, and the warmth of home.

As we use these recipes, may we honor her memory by sharing meals, creating new stories, and passing this tradition to future generations. Let this book remind us of the love and togetherness that make a family. 

With love,  
Jon Grose
