DEDICATION

I was a very lucky girl growing up. There were many great cooks around me during
my youth. The best cook and baker was my Mother, Herta Gertrud Nehlsen Hubler.

Her main cooking was German because she was born and raised in Germany. She
learned the Pennsylvania cooking for my Father, John A. Hubler who was from
Pennsylvania. Both of my grandmothers were excellent cooks- Helen Alverta Aungst
Hubler and Gertrud Rosa Roemer Nehlsen. I had a whole bunch of aunts and great
aunts who were also wonderful cooks and bakers. My Mom had many friends who

also made delicious meals and deserts.

At an early age, I learned to appreciate all the wonderful women and started to

collect recipes. These women always worked hard in the kitchen to pass on their
heritage in food and tradition while feeding their family and friends very well. I
thank each one of these special, talented and caring women. I am proud and
privileged to pass on these recipes.

Not until I married my husband, Frederick Ronald Wright did I begin to use many of
the recipes. My love and joy was to cook and bake for my husband, “Ron”! I wanted
to make wonderful meals from my family and friends recipes and add my new

recipes. Ron was also a good cook. He loved to barbecue and marinate the different
meats for the grill. He brought to our family the Italian recipes from his maternal
grandmother, Virginia Mazzola.

I wanted to always set a nice table from candles to flowers and regular dishes to

formal dishes and of course place mats to tablecloths. It was important to me to sit
and have a good meal as a family. When we had our three children Kim Christy,
Todd and Drew, it was important to me to continue this rich family history of great

food and wonderful meals together. I loved having family and friends over and to
share and enjoy good food, good deserts and great times together.

I would like many of the family recipes to continue being made by my children,
grandchildren and all future generations.
