What a wonderful story about the “author” of the kugel. And the photo of the typed recipe is precious. Thank you for sharing the story, recipe and lovely photos. Since Hanukkah is around the corner, I’m adding your Aunt’s kugel to our menu.

That recipe card is just priceless!!! And the kugel sounds very similar to what my grandmother used to make, and she never shared the recipe. Not because she didn’t want to. But because I didn’t have enough time to ask. Once I started cooking in my own kitchen, she was long gone. It is so magical how recipes and recipes cards go down through generations. Now you have just given me inspiration to try this recipe, which I am sure will taste just like hers. Thank you M!

That is a fine, fine kugel. My boys now know what a kugel is and what it should taste like, thanks to Aunt Rose. Ruth. Heck, thanks to you.

Let that be a lesson, Ms. Marilyn… no more gingerbread, pie-in-the-sky ideas. Although, I have to say that particular work of art, is beautiful, and it would be a shame if you didn’t construct another work. You are so talented, both with dough and the pen.

Apparently, Stephanie Meyer lives in our neck of the woods and I never heard of Twilight until the movie came out recently. Could be because I don’t have a teenage daughter. But now I have a recipe for scrumptious turkey meatballs! Thanks!

I have a 14 YO daughter who has fallen in and out of love w/ the Twilight series, but went on to find other vampire/teen love books. Ah to be 14 again! Can’t wait to try the meatballs – they look lovely. I’m so glad to have found your blog. Keep writing!

Have you made a Yerushalmi Noodle Kugel. That is a whole new world and a really good one. There is an easy way to do it other than browning the sugar but then I think you must be an expert at browning sugar, after your caramel experience.

Thanks again for sharing. I love this blog.
