My maternal grandmother was Jewish but my mom married a Pennsylvania Dutch and German Lutheran man (my dad) who added no salt to any cooking of food.

Our food at home = tasteless.

My Jewish Nannie's food: fantastic.

When cooking shows are browning duck breasts in the pan and the fat is snapping and crackling; my mouth almost waters to think of the whole ducks my Nannie would roast.

The skin was salty, browned to perfection and melted in my mouth. Same with the meat.

My cholesterol is down to 170. I think a roasted duck is in order. It will probably never taste like hers but I would like to try.

She would also make potato latkes that were delicious, served with apple sauce that she would make from scratch.

Her apple strudel was to die for. I would help her peel the apples and she would do the layers of pastry.

No bakery has ever replicated Nannie's strudel.
