Notes:

"Several years, ago, however, Ida decided that she would like to learn to read the Bible and write down the many baking recipes she had developed over a lifetime of cooking. This book is the result. Four years ago Ida had trouble writing her own name - today she is the proud author of a cookbook that has helped to raise funds for her church (where her son is a minister) and given her a great deal of personal fulfillment."--Afterwords Joe Ferrara, Literacy Council.
