Grandma
Frieda's Mandel Bread
My Grandmother Frieda brought this recipe with her from
the old country (the cooking smells in the Shtetl must of
been exotic) somewhere around Kiev, Russia. It was most likely
her mother's or her grandmother's recipe as she was 2 years
old when she passed through Ellis Island. Back when we first
opened in the early 90's Frieda came up and visited us, shooed
us out of the kitchen and baked us this wonderful batch of
Channuka bread. She is unequivocally one of the original Sirens
of Sherwood. I miss her humor, good nature and think of her
often. Thanks for the love Grandma Frieda.
