Cookbook Recipe
Ellen's Poppy Seed Cake
Submitted by: Ellen Goldstein Wickberg
9" pans can be used, just lower the baking temperature. This is Yvette's favorite birthday cake, and Jean made it for her for many years. The trick to an excellent cake is to soak the poppy seeds in milk overnight.

Cookbook Recipe
Chocolate Ithaca-Italian Fruit Cake (Pan Papato)
Submitted by: Mrs. Alexander
Mrs. Alexander was Jean & Ernie's first Ithaca landlady, and what-a-cook! Notes: Orange requires advance preparation (the night before). Make at least 2 weeks before use. A photo and some interesting history about panpepato (or pampepato) from Italian Food, Wine, & Travel by Kathy Bechtel: http://www.chefbikeski.com/?p=2675 “Pan pepato, or ‘peppered’ bread, is a fruit cake which hails from either Siena or Ferrara, depending upon the source, and you will probably find others that claim to have first produced this spicy cake … depending upon the ‘legend’, panpepato is either the predecessor or antecedent of pan forte, ‘strong’ bread. Both are fruit cakes, pan pepato (or panpepato) is flavored with black pepper and chocolate, while pan forte (or panforte) is milder, with the chocolate and pepper omitted.” “Documentation of these fruitcakes dates back to the 1200s, and shows that this type of bread was paid to Siena monasteries as a tithe. About this time, there are references to the Crusaders carrying this long-lasting sweet on their quests, to sustain them during sieges.” “In Ferrara, panpepato is served from Christmas day to Epiphany, but is traditionally offered on New Year’s Eve. In 1465, the Duke of Ferrara, Borso d’Este celebrated the feast of St. Martin with an elaborate banquet that included pan pepato with gold pieces inserted in each cake. The bakers of Ferrara then became famous for this dish, and the Ferrarese would present a panpepato to nobility and to the Pope to gain favor. As recently as World War II, the Ferrarese sent an 11 pound panpepato to General Eisenhower.”

Cookbook Recipe
Mother's Seven-Day Prune Cake
Submitted by: Zelma Levin Goldstein
Photo of Zelma Levin, age 14. This cake needs no frosting; a dusting of powdered sugar is sufficient. When dissolving baking soda in coffee: use larger than 1-cup measure to dissolve it in, because the baking soda foams up. It's called a 7-day cake because it will keep for 7 days.

Cookbook Recipe
Mother’s Strawberry Shortcake
Submitted by: Zelma Levin Goldstein
Many thanks to Paulette Kaleikau, who baked and photographed on the 4th of July weekend. Paulette’s comments: “Your mother’s shortbread with a little 4th of July zing. Reminded me of Chinese sponge cake. Thumbs up from both Craig & I.” Kosher (dairy)

Cookbook Recipe
Mother’s Apple Pie
Submitted by: Zelma Levin Goldstein
Use the quantities of apples for size pie as indicated in any of your cookbooks. For the pie crust, I have always used the standard 1 part shortening to 3 parts flour and a speck of salt, but never worried about handling the dough or cutting in shortening, just use my fingers and don’t get the shortening too well blended with flour. Understand the new method of oil is very good and very easy. You might try it. I like to put some canned milk on the top crust, just spread a little with your fingers, it gives the pie a nice, brown look.

Cookbook Recipe
Aunt Feige’s Strudel
Submitted by: Aunt Feige
Recipe from Aunt Feige, Rita’s older sister. Dough must be drier for strudel than for bagellach (bagellach is a potato or meat filling with this leaf). Advance preparation: Jam must be prepared the night before. Allow adequate time to prepare the strudel dough. Strudel, a type of layered pastry (usually with a sweet filling), became popular in the 18th century through the Habsburg Empire. Strudel is a traditional pastry in the whole area of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. The oldest Strudel recipes (a Millirahmstrudel and a turnip strudel) are from 1696, in a handwritten cookbook at the Vienna City Library. The pastry descends from similar Near Eastern pastries such as baklava and Turkish pastries. Photograph of sour cherry strudel from The Taste Space: https://tastespace.wordpress.com/2010/12/

Cookbook Recipe
Pirog or Piroghi (Apple, Jam, Cabbage)
Submitted by: Valia Nikitina & Irina Zolina
From Valia Nikitina & Irina Zolina, as argued out in our big, old-fashioned Warrenville kitchen. Our Russian visitors were all good cooks, and each had her own correct recipe. For main course, dessert, or snack. The Pirogi are eaten out of hand. The Pirog is richer and eaten with a plate and fork. Jean’s notes: Grease hands before handling dough. Use butter, not oil, to grease pan. Photo from Food Network.com: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/mushroom-apple-pierogies-recipe.html

Aunt Feige’s Bagel

Aunt Fanny’s Rolled Cookies (Rugelach)
Submitted by: Fanny Goldstein Chemnick
Photograph and comments courtesy of Laurel Wickberg Bailey: "A half recipe made 30 cookies. They don't look the way Grandma's used to, her's seemed to have more dough, less filling but I followed the recipe to a T (other than halving it) and they're delicious!" Rolled cookies are also called Rugelach (רוגעלך). Rugelach is a traditional Jewish food eaten any time of the year (including Shabbat and Hannuakah). This version is kosher as it does not use milk or butter.

Mother’s Candied Orange or Grapefruit Strips
Submitted by: Zelma Levin Goldstein
Photo of Zelma Levin, age 14. You can either peel the fruit, keeping peel in quarters, or cut them in half to eat as usual, then remove whatever may remain in the skins, and cut the peel into strips. If the white pulp seems heavy, some of it can be removed, but not too much, as it is what absorbs the sugar. I prepare the peels as I get them and keep them in the freezer until I have enough for a batch. Draining the peels: I find putting them on paper towels helps to get rid of some of the excess moisture. Plain: Kosher (pareve) and vegan; chocolate-dipped: Kosher (dairy) and lacto-vegetarian.

Saganaki (Flaming Cheese)
Submitted by: Petros
Recipe from Petros: A Chicago Greek restaurant where there is good food, good wine and fun. Photo from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Saganaki.jpg Saganaki (σαγανάκι) refers to various Greek dishes prepared in a small frying pan, itself called a saganaki, the best-known being an appetizer of fried cheese. Cheese saganaki can be made with graviera, kefalograviera, halloumi, kasseri, kefalotyri, or sheep's milk feta cheese. Flaming saganaki apparently originated in 1968 at The Parthenon restaurant in Chicago’s Greektown (according to this Dining Chicago article: http://www.diningchicago.com/blog/2009/08/27/chicago-taste-of-greece-flies-this-weekend/ ).

Tranches au Fromage (Swiss grilled cheese sandwich)
Submitted by: Thérèse Chevalley
Recipe from Thérèse Chevalley, an indigène of the Haute Vallais. The number of slices of bread and cheese to use depends on people’s appetites! Best combination is glutinous French bread and Gruyere cheese. You can add an egg on top, and still better a slice of ham between the bread and cheese plus the egg (poached or fried) on top of everything.

Ellen’s Version of New Joe’s Special
Submitted by: Ellen Goldstein Wickberg/Sunset Magazine
The name “Joe’s” was a generic name that dates back to the Barbary Coast in San Francisco. During the 1920’s, a group of entrepreneurs decided to open a new restaurant on Broadway Street in San Francisco. The name “Joe’s” had gone dormant for a while and they determined that “New Joe’s” would be a good name. “New Joe’s” became the first restaurant in San Francisco to do exhibition cooking where food was prepared in full view of the customers. It was also the restaurant where the “Joe’s Special” was created. Folklore has it that a customer ordered a spinach omelet very late one night. The customer asked the chef if he had anything else available to cook. The chef replied he had some hamburger left. The customer asked him to throw some of the hamburger into his omelet. The dish became so popular that they eventually put it on the menu.

Piroshki

Recipe from Tamara Pilipienko & Elena Morosova, more Russian wives who came to our very foreign country.

Thank you for your interest in ymozer's cookbook and for helping support the BakeSpace community of independent cookbook authors!

Here’s some quick information regarding how our cookbook platform works, along with a few tips for making the most of cookbooks you add to your library.

What is the Cookbook Café Platform?

Cookbook Café is our one-of-a-kind cookbook publisher, marketplace and reader. It empowers everyone to create, market and distribute a cookbook as both a web-based eBook and an iPad app. It also makes it incredibly easy for home cooks to discover and use amazing grassroots cookbooks they won't find anywhere else. Since 2012, we've published thousands of cookbooks authored by home chefs, nonprofit organizations, clubs, brands, etc. Our goal is to democratize cookbook publishing and make it easy to build an online library of amazing grassroots cookbooks.

How do I "download" a cookbook?

You don't need to "download" cookbooks or deal with any files. All of the cookbooks you select (free and paid) using Cookbook Café become available to you automatically on any device (computer, tablet or smartphone) whenever you’re logged-in to your free BakeSpace account.

When you see a cookbook you like, simply click the green "Get it Now" button. If you're not logged in to BakeSpace, you'll be asked to login (or join) so the cookbook can be added to your cookbook library. Once in your library, you can access the cookbook anytime, anywhere via BakeSpace.com, as well as our Cookbook Café iPad app.

While you're checking out cookbooks, also take some time to visit other parts of the delicious BakeSpace.com community where you can swap recipes and connect with others who share your passion for food and the culinary lifestyle.

Get ready to enjoy a uniquely smart and social cookbook experience!

Once a cookbook is added to your BakeSpace library, our proprietary recipe indexing technology makes it easy for you to find any specific recipe across all of your cookbooks… so there's no need to remember which cookbook contains that perfect recipe. In addition, you can connect directly with each cookbook author, leave comments/reviews and even ask questions about recipe substitutions, history, etc.
