Summary

This is a cook book of choice recipes--recipes which came to Michigan by way of Stina, the Alsatian cook whose reverence for food was great because she'd known starvation through the siege of Paris. ... The recipes are interlarded with Stina's rare philosophy of life which was as sustaining as her three meals a day, as dominating and sure as the way she ruled her kitchen with her gnarled, artistic hands.
