Famous as Cook
Eenriette Davidis began her cook

years ago at her parents home in
wengern, near Witten, on the Ruhr.
As a girl she became famous To-
cally for her cookeries, and the peo-
pie often came for miles for a taste
of her homemade bread and cakes.
And in those days when there was an
entertainment In the neighborhood
word was always passed around that
Henriette Davidis' dishes were to be
a feature of the event.
Henriette did all her cooking in an
old fashioned kitchen, with it's great
brick stove with enormous stone
chimney, Henriette's father was
minister and there were frequent
guests at the house, and when par
ticuiarIy tempting dish was prepared,
and liked, she made notes, and in
years to come it was publication of
these recipes in book form which
gave her fame throughout Germany.
Plain, substantial cooking was Hen

pastries are known today by nearly
every housewife in the land.

house had been completed the local
population took steps to preserve the
