  • About
Since work on this project began nearly twenty-five years ago, the list of people and institutions that helped me over that time is enormous. Several elderly informants are now deceased, so I will never have the pleasure of returning their kindnesses with a gift of this book. The names of their families or of particular individuals are scattered throughout the preceding pages in a respectful nod to their memory.

Ivan Glick, to whom I dedicate this project, works the north sixty acres of my family’s ancestral farm in Lancaster County. The Glicks have owned that property for more than fifty years. It is the epicenter from which the rediscovery of my family roots began. Ivan has a keen mind and a German library. He is among that old breed of bookish farmers so peculiar to the Pennsylvania Dutch. Because of men like Ivan, rural philosophers are still part of our culture and are one persistent reason why the sway of ideas exerts such a pervasive influence on our culinary history.
