I just wanted to thank all three of you (Jensen, Kerry Beal, Badiane) for your kind and insightful responses to my query. You've given me quite a number of directions to pursue. I'll be eagerly awaiting adding to my cookbook collection the Staebler books you mentioned, Kerry. In addition, I also found reference to a somewhat obscure cookbook available for order from North Dakota University. If I have this link correct it is: http://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/grhc/order/cookbooks/kant.htm Badine, in particular, your suggestion was especially appreciated, for there are indeed pointed differences in the styles... Your reference to that specific cookbook yields that it is: Mennonite Treasury Of Recipes Steinbach Committee 1960 Pub: Pandora Press Extra Information: Spiral Bound ISBN: 1550991329 Special thanks for that. Thanks also to Jensen for the reminder to seek closest to the actual source... her mom, grandmother, and local cookbooks. I will begin my research and collection and should I run into an impasse or have additional questions about specific recipes, I will holler out again! I'm so grateful and pleased to be a new part of this marvelously elite and sparkling community. -Pete
