The Heart of Our Home Cookbook - El Corazón de Nuestro Hogar

The Heart of Our Home expresses their gift of cooking and offers a taste of their stories. Each woman's favorite recipe represents seasonal and family celebrations, life's struggles, and the simplicity of the universal joy of a home-cooked meal eaten and shared with those we love.

The Heart of Our Home is our student's and staff's commitment and contribution toward achieving the goal to own our La Casa home where Hispanic women and children gather to learn English and prepare for their future. You too are invited to join in the life of La Casa Hogar, where you will find home, and be nourished by friendship, family and the delicious meal of hope. Welcome to the table, everyone.

Helen Jewett-Shields & Eloisa Gonzalez, La Casa Hogar cook and student

We are pleased to dedicate The Heart of Our Home to Helen Jewett-Shields. During her visits to La Casa Hogar she has expressed how much she enjoys the women who gather here and our home. Her generous and gracious financial gift has made it possible for us to own our home. It is with deep appreciation that we dedicate The Heart of Our Home to Helen, a beautiful caring woman, who makes an extraordinary difference for people in our community.

The outstanding collaboration of volunteers Amy Peters and Rob Prout with production, design and photography and our generous underwriters Western Materials, Abbott Printing and Catholic Credit Union make it possible for you to enjoy The Heart of Our Home. This book was created by the English as a Second Language students, and La Casa Hogar staff. The writings reflect the variety of educational levels and English abilities of our students. The class was taught by Terri Buchanan, Yakima Valley Community College instructor, and the project was coordinated by staff member Luz Monroy. The idea was inspired by staff member and Heritage University intern, Gloria Garza. Welcome to our table.

The Heart of Our Home cookbook contains 35 recipes, in both English and Spanish. Selected recipes include the photograph and personal story of the La Casa Hogar student or staff member which submitted the recipe to the cookbook.
