Tales from the Mennonite Heritage Archives – Episode 81
The original Mennonite Treasury of Recipes (Photo credit: Dan Dyck)
If The Mennonite Treasury of Recipes were a person, it would be eligible for Old Age Security this year. Not bad for a book whose roots date back to a group of women who volunteered to feed 3,000 people attending a church conference in Steinbach over 65 years ago. Guest host Sara Dyck brings you the history of the book, and archivist Conrad Stoesz learns that if he wants to bring News Years Cookies — or Portzelky — to a party, he needs to start cooking earlier in the day!
