The recipes in this cookbook have been handed down from generations of family and friends, as well as some I have developed myself. I have included a few of the older ones that were written in the old type measurements so that you, too, could enjoy them. I guess good memories are one of my favorite reasons to cook the old-fashioned way, and I have become known for that style of cooking and baking. Standing here looking into my kitchen, inhaling the aromas that fill this space, all bring to mind big family gatherings around the table and the love and laughter that go along with them. Please enjoy these recipes I hope you get as much pleasure from them as my friends and family have. Betty Grover
