Collecting Recipes

My Grandmother, Julia Seidar was a recipe collector who was always on the lookout for a new and exciting recipe. Funny thing though, I cannot recall my Grandmother ever owning a cook book.

She would clip from magazines and newspapers, trade and share especially good recipes with friends and quickly write down offerings from listeners of "The Open Line" program on WMT radio located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

At the time of her passing in 1983, she left 5 jam packed composition type notebooks full of recipes.

Most of these entries are from the 1950's, unfortunately time is not kind to cheap composition books and newsprint. Many pages have begun to deteriorate and are literally crumbling away. My goal is to preserve some of these old favorites, who knows one may spark a special memory!
