"Since I was twelve, I've enjoyed helping my mother cook for my large family. Over
time I began collecting and creating recipes, and started purchasing recipe
collections at estate sales. I also inherited several thousand that date back as far
as the 1800s. Soon, I got involved with judging and competing in community cook-
offs. I've won many contests and have written 35 electronic cookbooks to date.
Even more rewarding than the awards are the wide network of like-minded cooking
enthusiast friends I've made and all the new recipes I've collected.
It didn’t seem fair to keep them all to myself, so I selected recipes and put
them together to create this collection volume. It’s truly remarkable how many great
meals are prepared every day in homes throughout our country.”
Author biography:

when she was twelve years old, helping her
mother cook the family meals. Cathy's real
love is inventing new recipes and collecting
older recipes. Over the years, she has
compiled well over 2,000,000 recipes, many
self-written, others inherited and still others
purchased at estate sales. After four years,
Cathy finally has all of these recipes typed up
and is putting them into individual categories
