Introduction to Family Recipes.
3.5.3 Ernstine Selma Arnold A selection of recipes from Selma’s Recipe Book May 9th 1913, South Kilkerran Yorke Peninsula
My mother, Fay Kinsley nee Arnold, gave me her aunt Selma Arnold’s hand written recipe book when I was a young woman. Selma was the third child of Johann August and Ernestine Louise Pauline Arnold. She suffered from epileptic fits and had a very restricted life and died, aged thirty nine years. This recipe book gives a lovely insight into her young life. She was nineteen when she wrote this recipe book.
