About this ebook
In 1906, Grandma Helny came from a small town in Finland to an American rural community in Rochester, Washington. She brought with her a collection of 48 old recipes, which have been translated into English and assembled into this ebook. You'll find recipes for biscuits, cookies, casseroles, pancakes, breads, soups, drinks, fish, and meat dishes. This little book also includes a short glossary of Swedish and Finnish names for each dish.

To my Swede-Finn grandmother:
Helny Maria Andersdotter Furu Forström Steele
July 4, 1885 - April 20, 1968
Preface & Acknowledgments
My mother's side of the family are Swede-Finns who originally came from a small town called Terjärv, located in the Ostrobothnia area of Finland. My grandfather, Anders Joel Sandkulla Stål (Joel Steele), came to America in 1907, a year after my grandmother, Helny Maria Andersdotter Furu (Helny Anderson), arrived. They both settled in Rochester, Washington, a farming and lumber community in southwestern Washington. My grandmother married shortly after arriving, was widowed in 1917, and married my grandfather in 1919. They had two daughters, one of whom was my mother, Norma Elisabeth Steele (Martelli).
In about 1984, a year or so before she died, my mother gave me some recipes that her sister, Lillian, gave her after my grandmother died. They were written in Swedish on very old and fragile paper. I don't speak Swedish, but my mother translated most of them. In 1992, I gave the remaining few, which were very faded and difficult to read, to a young Swedish student at UCLA, and she translated them into English for me. I then edited them with the help of my friend and fellow editor, Gretchen Wilding. I have made all of these recipes, except for the lutfisk and anything with cabbage, cauliflower, rutabagas, or turnips in it.
Unfortunately, I never knew my grandmother very well because I grew up in California and
