Family food favorites
Switzerland
My grandfather has traced our family heritage all the way back the the 1500's in Switzerland. Switzerland is a mountainous central European country known for watches and chocolate. In a little town there is a church named after our family and I will be going to see it this summer.
Maryland/ New Jersey
Over time my family traveled to the U.S and settled in Maryland and New Jersey where my family food favorite comes from. Pound cake originally started in Europe ,but in the U.S different versions soon became popular like the sour cream pound cake. We have this cake at many family gatherings and it is everyone's favorite!
