PRAISE FOR COLLEEN FROEHLICH AND THE FROEHLICH'S COOKBOOK


"The opening of Froehlich's was more than just the inspiration to purchase, rehabilitate, and open the Vickers Theatre; it sparked a transformation that reshaped the town itself. Colleen showed all of us that a small town could offer a truly world-class experience without ever losing the warmth, generosity, and hospitality of a good neighbor. That spirit became the foundation not only for our business, but for so many others that followed. I'm thrilled she has now shared both her inspiring story and her iconic recipes in this book."



-Jon Vickers, owner, Vickers Theatre




"As a chef to many of Chicago's and the world's most influential people, I know that finding high-quality artisan foods is essential and rare. Colleen Froehlich's restaurant and bakery is a treasure house: her jams, jellies, and famous pickles are beyond anything else on the shelf. Whenever I host an event anywhere in the world, Colleen's specialties are a permanent part of my moveable pantry. Don't forget her incredible artisan bread-her delicious jellies and jams are great for smearing on a slice."



-Chef Art Smith, two-time James Beard Foundation award winner




"Whether it's her cinnamon rolls, deviled eggs, harvest soup, or legendary bagels, Colleen's treats have been staples at our home for decades. Now, we all get to look behind the curtain and see how Colleen does it."



-Joan Cusack, Emmy Award-winning actress




"As you'll learn in this book, Three Oaks was not always the thriving small town it is today. Colleen bought the Froehlich's building from another visionary couple, Mike and Sue, who transformed a dead newspaper into an eagerly perused weekly featuring stories about locals, young and old, from all over Harbor Country. Her store today is just up the street from the Vickers Theatre, featuring high-end, first-run movies and selected old classics. At a very important time in the development of Three Oaks, Colleen provided a place to get every type of coffee, enjoy locally grown, locally baked goodies, and talk to all the interesting people visiting and living in Three Oaks. She saw the vision and created the critical ingredient."
