Grandma Hattie Reisinger’s
Treasured Recipes

“Grandma Hattie Reisinger’s Treasured Recipes” cookbook first edition began in 2004, at that time mother was a bright and feisty 86-year-old widow. Our Dad “Ed” had passed 17 years earlier in 1987 of a myocardiopathy. I shared with my wife Gail that I wanted to pay tribute to mom while she was healthy and able to appreciate our gratitude.

As Gail and I brainstormed how to accomplish this, we came up with the idea of preserving our “heritage” by preserving mother’s recipes. We recognized that one of mother’s greatest talents was baking and cooking and there is nothing she enjoyed more than preparing a multicourse dinner with dessert for family and friends.

Mother enthusiastically endorsed this project and suggested to Gail and me we add our family and friends to the cookbook by having them share their favorite recipe.

Enjoy!
