Myra, Turkey in the year 300 A.D. This story is educational and brings

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.
