Subject: Recipe Book

This collection of recipes is dedicated to all you eager eaters, ready and willing to try anything new.  If you hadn’t been so adventurous, this collection could never have come into being.  As you will see when you look through it, this is not a general cookbook.  Most of you have copies of “Joy”.  That is the Bible.  Rather, this is a collection of recipes from all over, recipes that you have asked for.

You will notice, as your read through this collection, that in most cases, I have not specified the amount of meat to be used.  This can be as much or as little as you choose.  This is also a collection of cheap recipes.  The meat is mainly for flavoring.  For the chicken recipes, buy chicken breast.  They are more expensive, but you get more meat and less bone, so in the long run, it is cheaper.

And now what is needed are, Polish recipes (Caron), Hungarian, Alsatian specialities, Italian, Swedish and South American recipes.  Who knows, this could go on and on, a new edition every few years.

And now, finally, with much love, BON APETIT!
