Entertaining

Generations draw together through family-published cookbooks

(ARA) - In 1913, a young Polish couple crossed the ocean aboard a ship and arrived in America in search of a better life. Since that time, four generations of Lyczak, Pilck and Grywalsky offspring have grown and thrived in the United States, and although many miles separate the family members today, they still make an effort to remain close. One such effort is evident in their recently published family cookbook called "Flavors of the Generations."
