Thousands of people have passed through the doors of Jewish Family Service in Dallas, Texas, in the past 55 years. During that time, the agency's kitchen has always been filled with homemade goodies--maybe a "thank you" cake, or a "thinking about you" pie. The recipes of many of these treats had been passed down through generations, some being brought to the U.S. by recent immigrants. The Best We Ever Ate! compiles the best of those delicious desserts in this beautiful book with easy-to-follow recipes, heart-warming and humorous stories, and Cook's Notes that add that "little something extra" to every recipe. Whether you're looking to make cookies, cakes, puddings, pies, or special treats for Passover or other Jewish holidays, you'll find the best in The Best We Ever Ate!
