The Slovak Cookbook features eastern Slovak recipes touched by the Carpatho-Rusyn and Pennsylvania Slovak Soul Food influences and heritage of first generation Americans.

Everyday Pennsylvania Slovak and Rusyn mining town recipes and all the special holiday and holy day treats. It includes everthing you need to make traditional Easter and Christmas preparations.

You will find Pirohy, Grul'ovniky, Pagace, Holubky, Pankusky, Poppy seed rolls (makovniky), Nut rolls, Lokse, Paska Chlieb, Halusky, Easter-basket preparation, Carpathian smoked ham and much more.

This is probably the most complete English language cookbook on Carpathian Slovak foods available. The authors are first generation born of full Slovak parents who served these meals daily.

These time-honored, family-tested, everyday recipes were ultimately passed down through the generations (brought from Grandma Maria Bencko's kitchen in Slovinky, Slovakia to Pennsylvania Mining towns by the authors Mother in 1910) and have now been made available in print, possibly for the first time.

The 138 page booklet is written in an easy-to-read, easy-to-make fashion with a generous sprinkling of graphics, dry humor, and related anecdotes.

The cookbook has a special 8 page section on curing meats.
