WhyIWroteTheBook

Peoplehaveasked,“Whyasauerkrautcookbook?”

Thereisnoshortanswer.

I was born in Palmer, Alaska (the Matanuska Valley) where summer sun shines

endlessly, and cabbages grow to 100 pounds. In an annual contest, the winner of the
largestcabbagewins$2000.00.ItcouldbesaidthatIhaveahistorywithcabbage.

canned. Things were purchased in case lots, so cans of vegetables were the norm for
villagersofAlaska.

Cabbage has been heralded as a cancer inhibitor in the Journal of Agricultural and

FoodChemistry, is loaded with vitamin C, only has 11 calories per service, and goes in
anything.Itcanbefried,boiled,baked,frozen,canned,ordriedandthengroundinafood
