The kitchen was the centre of activity in a Swiss Mennonite home, notes author Barb Draper in a new book she’s written alongside Eileen Freeman.
Grandmother’s Kitchen explores the foods and recipes of Swiss Mennonites in Waterloo Country from the 1920s to the 1950s.
Both Draper and Freeman grew up in Swiss Mennonite families. To create this book, they pored over old cookbooks and talked with more than 20 members of that community.
