Sigvaldason Family Cookbook - A Status Report and CALL for NARRATIVES


Sigvaldason Family Cookbook

A Status Report as of April 20, 2013
Thank you so much for all the recipes received so far for the Sigvaldason Family Cookbook. The recipes are now in the recipe software arranged in chapters. The cookbook (title will be determined later) is still in progress with approximately 300 recipes. If you have a recipe you still would like to include, please send the recipe to either of us by mail or email.

What is in the works: we would like to include a few chapters for the cookbook about the Sigvaldason family members, including a short genealogy and some photographs. The Sigvaldason family photo of Bjorn and Lara Sigvaldason and their sixteen children is among those to be included.

A Call for Short Narratives
A chapter on memories of the kitchen of the original Sigvaldason House and/or the types of foods served by Gudjona Lara Sigvaldason is being planned. The cookbook collection has a few of Lara’s recipes, but we want to check with you to see if there are any more recipes of Lara’s.

As younger members of the family may have never seen or don’t recall the original Sigvaldason kitchen as it was when Bjorn and Lara lived there, this is a call for narratives of what Lara did or the foods she served in her kitchen of the Sigvaldason House located in the Arborg Heritage Village. The narrative can be short--doesn’t have to be long--a paragraph of your memories of that kitchen or food served would be greatly appreciated.

With our thanks and love, Margaret and Carol
