5.0 out of 5 stars Fondest memories of my Lutheran upbringing in Wisconsin!!, February 19, 1999
By 
Stephanie (Dale City, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lutheran Church Basement Women (Paperback)
My grandmother was a Norwegian immigrant who lived in a apartment down the street from our Lutheran church in Wisconsin. This book covers every recipe and nuance I remember from life in the Lutheran church, right down to the aprons. The explanations and footnotes about life as a Lutheran church basement woman are accurate and delightful. The descriptions of rituals and preparations for events are accurate to a fault, right down to the dead spreads. The hints about gossip and the social structure of these women are perfect. This book is a joy!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Ja, sure, lots of fun, October 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Lutheran Church Basement Women (Paperback)
A light hearted look at the traditional role of women and their work in Church kitchens. While I am a lifelong Lutheran, I appreciated it more after moving to the Midwest. The only book I have seen that pays homage to red Jell-O.

On a more serious note, I am glad that the mores honored here are changing. At my church the men join in the cooking and cleaning, and the women have many other roles too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pre-cholesterol., June 16, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Lutheran Church Basement Women (Paperback)
As I read this book, and browsed through the recipes, I remembered when I happily consumed many of these delious edibles (as well as tactfully avoided the equally noxious ones) in blissful ignorance. I still consume many of these traditional Lutheran dishes at church functions, now usually held in the Lutheran School building. Today, though, I am required to feel guilty about consuming them, can very nearly HEAR them clogging arteries. That basement holds many fond memories of more innocent times!
