This room is the source of life.

The ancient breaking of bread together comes alive again.
These recipes come from that treasured heritage.
Some have been handed down for many generations.
Others are the creation of the modern housewife.
The love of the family is made tangeible in her love of fine cooking.
Many people have given generously of their time to make cooking books alive.
We say thank you and "God bless you!" to all for sharing our labor and joy.
To all we extend an old Polish wish to those at your table,
"Smacznego!"- a wish holding in a single word
the fullist wish for an enjoyable and tasty meal!
