New German-Russian foodways videotape available

"Recipes from Grandma's Kitchen: Germans from Russia Food Traditions &
Recipes", Volume 1, is a new videotape now available. The videotape was
produced by the Germans from Russia Cultural Preservation Foundation
(www.grculture.org) and the Germans from Russia Heritage Collection, NDSU
Libraries, Fargo (www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/grhc).

Because of the popularity of Prairie Public Television's documentary,
"Schmeckfest: Food Traditions of the Germans from Russia", the
"Recipes from Grandma's Kitchen" video series has been produced.

Traditional foods, savory recipes, and folk memories are important in the
history and culture of the Germans from Russia community. "Recipes from
Grandma's Kitchen" provides step-by-step detailed cooking and
ingredients. There are vignettes of culinary memories that feed the soul
and warm the heart.

Visit the kitchens and reminisce with: Millie Doll Hauck, Richardton, ND,
Pheasant Paprikash Soup and dessert Strudel; Alma Janke Schott, Gackle,
ND, Christmas Tea Ring; Bernadine Lang Kuhn, Owatonna, MN, Dessert
Kuchen; Erica Lang Wangler, Bismarck, ND, Schupfnoodla with Chicken; and
Helen Gefroh Fischer, Hague, ND, Strudel with Chicken.
