- NOTES : From Hermine Sostarich of Brookfield, Wisconsin:
- My mother, Barbara Suveljak Hosni and father, Thomas Frank Hosni, Sr., passed through Ellis Island in September 1913 from Austria-Hungary. My mother decided I should have some of her recipes. As a result, we did a "stop and measure" as she prepared Nut Roll.
