This cookbook was compiled by Josephine J. Dauzvardis. She was an honorary consul from 1971 to 1986 representing the Consulate General of Lithuania in Chicago, a post she took over when her husband passed away. Because of her knowledge of her country's customs and recipes, she was popularly known as the Lithuanian Lore Lady.
She compiled and edited the recipes in this cookbook which was first printed in 1955. It was the first attempt to compile and publish in English a more extensive collection of recipes which were popular among Lithuanians. Some are typically Lithuanian, dating back to ancient times; others have been adopted from neighboring nations and adapted to the Lithuanian palate.
Included are over 150 recipes from beverages such as Honey Liqueur, vegetables such as Potato Mushroom Roll, soups like Beer Soup, to cakes such as Birch Log and other scrumptious pastries.
I have a copy of this wonderful cookbook in Good condition in my store if you've been looking. The link is here: Popular Lithuanian Recipes
