Gloria Pitzer’s SECRET RECIPESTM – MASTER INDEX & KEY
There are about 5,600 secret (and not so secret) recipes developed by Gloria Pitzer that have been uploaded to the web. Most of which have been done so by her fans. To all of you who have correctly listed her as the original recipe source, we say: “Thank you!”.
This Secret RecipesTM – Master Index is a “Work In Progress”, as it’s only a semi-complete list of Mom’s published recipes, crafts, etc. I don’t have all of her Secret RecipesTM Newsletter issues. I haven’t counted how many of Mom’s recipes, crafts, and other things are listed here but it’s definitely many, many thousands.
Many of the books and such, listed in the “Publishing Key” (below), are highlighted with links to their locations on the Cookbooks & Other Publications tab. The publishing key is listed by Index Abbreviation – Published Title – Published Date. The index is listed by Recipe/Craft/Other Title – Publishing abbreviation & page number.
Also listed (in italics) in the index are the bits of information, tips, stories, articles, and crafts that Mom included in all of her books and newsletters. To view Mom’s recipes and crafts (that are highlighted), in this index, simply “click” on the title to see it on the Recipes tab or Crafts tab. As I post more of Mom’s recipes and crafts to this website, I’ll be adding links to them, in this index.
