Mother's Cookbook

This book is dedicated to the memory of mymother, Steliana Costin, who was a teacherof the culinary art.As, a child, I always thought of my mother as belonging to us, the family,entirely. Could not imagine that she had a separate life as a teacher, andloved and formed young people to become fruitful citizens of society. Iwas only seeing one side of mother's persona.The first glimpse of who my mother was happened when we were invacation hiking throughout a small village in the Carpathian Mountainsand logging with a peasant family.My mother talked to the young girl, dreaming of the word to open in frontof her eyes, and could not find a way out of the village life. My mothertold the young girl how to apply to the school she was teaching to, inBucharest, how she can better herself, and live her dreams.That's what teachers do, open doors, make dreams come true!Note: This is a very comprehensive cook book, concise, and precise,and the recipes arranged in a logical manner, by the methodology ofpreparation the dough.This book is written in metric units (the European system), but the unitscan be easily converted in English units with the help of a unit convertor.Also the quantities might seem rather on an industrial scale; again, it canbe reduced by dividing the quantities for as many, or as little, portionsyou need, and here the decimal system is a big help!
