Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Our mom (Irene Huber) was a good old fashioned cook. She rarely consulted recipes but instead cooked and baked by touch, look and feel. She threw in a pinch of this and a tea cup of that. Our father (Lambert Huber) had a real sweet tooth, so no meal was complete without a jar of canned fruit from the cold cellar and a slice of something sweet. We've sourced a few of her favourites to share with you.
