Slovenian Heritage Cookbook

This cookbook was created as a remembrance of the first Harvest Soup Festival and the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of St. Mary Church in Pueblo, Colorado.

Some of the recipes were created in the kitchens of our grandmothers and have evolved      throughout a hundred years with just a few minor changes.

The book contains sections on Soup recipes, Slovenian Ethnic Food, Special helps and cooking tips. We all remember the movie A Fiddler on the Roof in which Reb Tevye introduces the audience in the opening scene to his village and tells about the customs and reasons behind them. His explanation is stated in one word, "TRADITION". This is what we have tried to hold on to...but some of the traditions have been lost, while others evolved from the old way to new ways. One thing remains, no matter what, traditions should be upheld and carried on from generation to generation. Most of the Slovenian tradition center around holidays and some of them are brought out in the section entitled "Traditions".

The cook book may be purchased for $10 plus $2 postage and handling from St. Mary Slovenian Library, 211 East Mesa Ave., Pueblo, CO 81006.  For other information contact stmarysgen9@aol.com
