Press Release Body: Doylestown, PA - Grandmother\'s Cookbook written by Elizabeth
Rose von Hohen and published by Carrie J. Gamble, Inc. is an old fashioned heirloom
cookbook all about a mother\'s love for her family. It shares the recipes she
nurtured them with, her genuine love of life and her positive spirit. Elizabeth and
her granddaughter, Carrie, have preserved a piece of the past with this publication.

As with all grandmothers, Elizabeth\'s recipes were part of who she was. These
recipes gathered from our mothers and grandmothers are so much more than just a list
of ingredient with instructions as to how to put them together. They are a direct
link to our past. They are an integral part of our memories attached to a certain
occasion or holiday. Mothers and Grandmothers love to reminisce about "the good old
days." Quite often this involves food memories. What better day to reminisce with
them than on Mother\'s Day?

\"To be really good at anything you have to love it,\" says Elizabeth in the forward
of Grandmother\'s Cookbook. Elizabeth\'s recipes and country cooking style span a
lifetime and are a collection from varied sources. As a nine year old school girl,
she was fascinated with "all of the wonderful things" her girlfriends brought in
their lunches. She and her German-Hungarian mother would experiment with these new
recipes cooking on an old coal/wood stove. At fifteen Elizabeth left home to become
a child\'s nurse and cook for a wealthy family in Philadelphia. It was there where
her skills blossomed as she learned many gourmet recipes from the lady of the house.
Elizabeth\'s expertise as a cook strengthened over the years as she prepared many
delectable feasts for family and friends. All of these experiences fostered a love
of cooking and baking in her.

Determined to preserve their treasured family recipes, Elizabeth and Carrie worked
for two years collecting, testing and capturing for eternity the many recipes
garnered over the years some stored only in Elizabeth\'s memory. Grandmother and
granddaughter spent long afternoons together sipping tea and coming up with ideas
for their joint endeavor. One such ideas was to include wildflower watercolors on
the title and divider pages because of Elizabeth\'s lifelong love of flowers. She
wrote a reminiscence or story for each one. There are a total of nine stories
throughout printed in her own handwriting
