My name is Michael Muranaka, and I am the great-grandson of Irene Quist Johnson. She was my mother's grandmother. I've only met her a few times as a young child, and I don't remember her personally, but my mother, Linda Muranaka (née Johnson) remembers her fondly. I do remember the day that she passed in 1995 – my mother received the news via telephone as we live in California and she in Florida. I remember my mother being very upset by the news, and we were unfortunately not able to attend the funeral.

All of the information from this website was taken from a cookbook that was compiled by my Great Aunt Elisabeth Hassett, which she printed and gifted to members of the family during Christmas of 1997. Any notes/anecdotes contained within recipe pages were written by her.

The book has since seen a lot of use! A few years ago I thought it would be a good idea to get all of these recipes online, and it's finally happening. I plan on making some of these recipes myself and taking photos, however if anyone has photos, notes, stories, or anything of the like they think should be on the website feel free to email me.
