Hi! This is Nowell Valeri, admin of this here family cookbook site. If you’re part of the family- welcome!!
Updating Recipes
You may recognize some of these recipes as your own, previously only available as a printed version from the 1990s and early 2000s. All 250+ recipes from those cookbooks are now available on the site! If you are the author of one of those recipes or have a modification you’d like to make to some of the original recipes listed here, please click here to fill out the contact form.
Commenting and Site Membership
If you’re not the author of a recipe but you’re part of the family and would like to leave a comment about your experiences making a particular recipe and most importantly PICTURES of completed dishes and process, I’d love to include you! To keep out spam comments, I’m requiring all family members who want to interact with the site to register first. To do this, please click here to fill out the contact form and I’ll set up a Basic user account for you. Our current Editors (with the ability to add and edit existing recipes) are: Nowell Valeri, Sadie Jernigan Valeri, Ken Valeri and Carla Tuhacek.
New Recipes
Finally- if you have NEW recipes (and I know you do), I can’t wait to post them! Go ahead and fill out the contact form for that as well.
New Family Members
As our family continues to grow and more family recipes are added to the book, more names will be added to the banner. If I missed one, let me know and I’ll add it right away!
Dedication
I’m so happy to finally have a home for this project, which has been in the back of my mind for over 10 years. It’s my honor to host recipes from the great culinary masters of our family, both living and those who have passed on. Specifically I’d like to honor my grandmother Sarah (Segletes) Landes (aka Nan), whose recipes filled our lives (and bellies) with joy during her time on Earth. This site is dedicated to her.
