Sketches Are Turned Into A New Cookbook By BEm' FROST I pass along my beautiful recipes, I feel that I am continuing my Violeta Autumn said. At first she would share the recipes with friends and neighbors in Sausalito who requested them. Because she is an architect and artist, she would copy them out in a graphic way, making sketches of the ingredients. One neighbor, Gloria Robinson of Sausalito, enjoyed her small collection of Mrs. family cookery so much that she suggested a cookbook could be compiled that would interest others.

That was the beginning of Russian Jew Cooks in which Mrs. Autumn designed, and illustrated. Cooking steps are written out in her clear calligraphy. The book has just been pubUshed by 101 Productions in San Francisco. Mrs.

parents left Russia in 1925 to escape from the hard times that followed World War I. Like a number of other Russian-born Jewish people from the small towns on the frontiers of Russia and Rumania along the river Prut in the region of Bessarabia, they went to Peru. There Rachel Eidelman, an excellent cook, prepared her Jewish specialties for members of the Jewish colony in Lima. When certain traditional ingredients were not available, she substituted what she could find in the Peruvian markets. She also added Peruvian specialties to old favorites, which is how meatballs in Peruvian was created.

The immigrant never loses his traditional ways, but he does assimilate the new, and so manages to create something unique which lives as he lives and then Peruvian cooking is also distinctive, the author explained.

There are 20 varieties of potatoes in Peru, for instance, which are used in many dishes. Her own favorite recipe is for Flan, the delicious custard which is found throughout Latin America as weU as in European cuisine. The Jewish knishes, the small pastry turnovers filled with seasoned meat, cheese or potato, can be compared to the empanadas found in Peru and other Spanish American countries. An unusual recipe is for Antichucos, a Peruvian specialty, featuring skewered cubes of beef heart, basted with a feather while it broils over a bed of charcoal. The greatest difficulty in preparing the book was to transpose the recipes from pinch of salt and a glass of chopped to standard measurements, the Sausalito said.

it was great fun testing recipes, and my family never ate so well as during the time the book was being Mrs. Autumn was bom in Chiclayo, Peru, in the north coastal section of Peru.

A jumper can stand alone when the blouse or sweater is removed.
