DEDICATION
This little collection of family recipes is dedicated to all the
wonderful cooks in our family. My grandmothers set the bar
high, as did my mother and mother-in-law. So I dedicate this
book to Sophie Goodman, Esther Golman, Frances Golman and
Mary Melendi, without whom there could be no cookbook.
I originally compiled this cookbook for my wonderful children,

Stephen, Michael and Amy, so that they and their families could
carry on the culinary traditions these recipes represent. I hope
that they enjoy the pictures that accompany the recipes.
APPRECIATIONI give heartfelt thanks to my mother, Frances (Honey)

Golman, for not only reading so many recipes out to
me while I input them into the computer, but also for
explaining them along the way. I also thank the other
great cooks of the family who took the time to send me
their recipes to include in this book. In addition, I thank
Bob for supporting me in this effort.

BREAKFAST
& BRUNCH
BLINTZE
SOUFFLE
Where did this recipe come from? I got from Honey and have made it
for years. In the picture at left, you can see the recipe as written in Bubba
Goodman’s cookbook. But we still don’t know where she got it!
It’s a great brunch entree. Serves 8 - 12.
Preparation Ingredients
Preheat oven to 325° 12 frozen blintzes, thawed
1 stick margarine or butter,
Place blintzes in a 9 x 13" Pyrex cas- melted
serole and drizzle melted butter over 4 eggs, beaten
them evenly. 2 tbsp orange juice
In a non-reactive bowl, mix eggs, juice, 2 - 3 tsp sugar to taste
sugar and vanilla. When mixed well, 1 tsp vanilla
fold in sour cream. 12 oz (1½ c) sour cream
Pour mixture over blintzes.
Bake uncovered for 45 - 50 minutes
or until souffle rises and is lightly
browned.
Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

several years, until I got comfortable
with the concept, then I followed her
advice and got creative. She instructed
me to use a wok, since she knew we had
one. Later, she gave us a large casuelo.

vegatable) or

BRISKET Honey gave me this recipe for brisket at Passover, but
this is how she always makes it. The only difference is
that she uses cake meal instead of flour at Passover.

FOR THE
SWEET
TOOTHIt’s in the genes - we all have one!
A note about baking from Honey:
Cakes baked in 9 x 13" pans are usually baked at 350°. If baked in two
layers, bake at 350° and test after 10 fewer minutes.
Unless a recipe calls for cake flour, use all purpose flour.
Eggs should be a room temperature, so take them out first, always add
eggs one at a time.
Make sure all measurements are level.
You know your oven best; most cakes, cookies and brownies are baked
at 350°; if your oven bakes too fast at 350°, lower the temperature to
325° and bake a few minutes longer. Always test with a toothpick for
doneness before removing from oven.
Cakes that are sprinkled with powdered sugar are meant to be served
with vanilla ice cream. Let cakes cool before adding the powdered sugar.

it. Be aware that it is time consuming to roll out all
this dough, but it’s fun to make with children.
Don’t forget to flour the cookie cutters!
Sift flour, salt, baking powder and set 1 cup sugar plus extra to

This is a true New York cheese cake.

basic recipe but I have made it many
times and it always turns out great.
This recipe makes a small cake. I
usually triple the ingredients (except
the vanilla) and make a big one.
