There Is Always Room For One More: Volga German Stories and Recipes

From living on a farm and then a ranch in Wyoming I have a passion for good food and recipes. I also am immersed in the history and personal stories of the Volga Germans. All my grandparents came from Russia, but were of German descent. This places me in a small, but unique group of people within the United States. I would like to introduce you to these wonderful, hardworking people who still cling to their values, tradition, and religion.

I decided to combine my Volga German upbringing with stories and recipes from my childhood and beyond.

I now reside in Cave Creek, AZ with my husband David and new AZ Rescue A Golden, Dudley DoRight.

I work in the food and beverage department for a 5 diamond resort in Scottsdale, AZ. I continue to research the Volga Germans through my family tree and I still cook and bake our special german foods from “scratch”.
