About our recipes

Allan and Elena's wedding

Allan and Elena's wedding

This website collects the favorite recipes of a large extended family with connections to Arizona, New Jersey, Washington, and Massachusetts. It is, in many ways, a memorial to our Grandmother, Maria Pereira, and our mother, Elsie Waite.

It is also in part a history of our family: Grandma’s German cuisine, Meemah’s New England homecooking, Aunt Norma’s study of elegant cookery, Mother’s experimentation with more exotic fare, and probably inevitably, the current generation’s search for less calorie-laden (but still great) food.

Many of grandmother Pereira’s recipes would not exist today if Aunt Norma hadn’t systematically worked to record them by following her around in the kitchen and measuring everything. Vielen dank, Norma. And big thanks too, to everyone who sent recipes in.

Enjoy!
