But there it is, in black and white! Her recipes also include pistachio nuts and various exotic spices - things we had NO access whatsoever during the Soviet occupation. Fascinating! I like the way you describe your blog as a modern version of a handwritten family cookbook:)<BR/><BR/>Kalyn - thank you! <BR/><BR/>Susan - welcome! I hope we'll be able to peruse many more of the recipes in the near future..<BR/><BR/>Neil - we've bookmarked plenty of recipes already:)<BR/><BR/>Joey - it was the best imaginable gift to us both:) And thanks for your kind words!<BR/><BR/>Roxy - I hope it'll never come to that. But if it does, I'll nick the books:) <BR/><BR/>Freya - I never met K's grandmother, but apparently she was a brilliant cook. <BR/><BR/>Sleepspyjamas - we will! Which reminds me that as I still have both of my grandmothers, I should pester them for their favourite recipes. My paternal granny makes the best pickled tomatoes in the world, and my maternal granny makes wonderful stews and a sweet bread with poppyseeds!<BR/><BR/>Scott - yes, I imagine these would be familiar to Polish kitchens - and just as delicious:)<BR/><BR/>Jeanne - I've come across that word 'beef olives' before, when still in the UK. I should check my British cookbooks, maybe they've got something similar after all??<BR/><BR/>Eva - thanks!!<BR/><BR/>Kinna - I thought about photocopying the cookbooks, too, as they're indeed fragile and precious. We've also had to translate some of the ingredients into 'modern Estonian', especially some old names for fish. Quite a lot of fun! By the way - there is even a recipe for Lindström's meatballs!<BR/><BR/>Christine - I do hope you'll find something to cherish!Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-80196671769398700632007-02-15T17:06:00.000+02:002007-02-15T17:06:00.000+02:00Wow, how wonderful for you!

I've never seen her recipes before, and I don't know where they're even kept. It'll be quite an adventure. :) Enjoy the cooking! I will definitely be coming back for more.christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00170119649259510290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-8939920419624291522007-02-15T15:17:00.000+02:002007-02-15T15:17:00.000+02:00You are lucky with the cookbooks.

I have also re-written everything so I have it in my computer because the books are so fragile and vulnerable.

Most supermarket butchers stock them too - but I've never seen them here :-( I always wondered why they were called beef olives - an analogy to stuffed olives?! I like the sound of your onion, ginger and celeriac combination, I must say...Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325204219395014329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-47851652456046409102007-02-14T04:07:00.000+02:002007-02-14T04:07:00.000+02:00My wife (Polish) does something very similar with ...My wife (Polish) does something very similar with rolled beef - and it's delicious, as I'm sure yours is too!Scott at Real Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935102352822407092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-83302218082443460242007-02-13T20:36:00.000+02:002007-02-13T20:36:00.000+02:00Enjoy your heirlooms -- I've only one recipe hand-...Enjoy your heirlooms -- I've only one recipe hand-me-down from my family, and I do treasure it quite a lot!
