Room At The Table

ROOM AT THE TABLE collects old and new family recipes handed down generations through the cooks in the Renth and Weidler families of St. Louis, Missouri, as a memorial to Betty Jean Weidler Renth and her husband Earl Renth. The idea for this compilation of recipes came while the editor (Betty Jean's last son-in-law) was on retreat studying ways to be more inclusive, to "make a place for everyone at the table," and to scour the clippings and tattered scraps of recipes handed down to the cook in my household, Carol, one of the Renth girls.
