The Holm Family Cookbook
By the Holm Family
From tattered cards in time-worn recipe boxes, hastily scribbled notes, and emails from friends, the recipes in this cookbook arrived from the kitchens of five generations of Holm women and close friends of the family. Realizing that the project was too large to finish on her own, Nancy enlisted the help of family members Susie Calhoun and Merry Calhoun Carter (sisters), Tilli Holm Calhoun (mother), Wendy Neely Howe (cousin), and Patsy Holm Neely (aunt). And, when the collection of photos, stories, and recipes became too overwhelming for all of them, a book designer, Carol Salvin, was hired to piece it all together.
From its humble beginnings 9 years ago, this group of dedicated women have self-published a 240 page illustrated cookbook. The cookbook is dedicated to Ione and Ida Holm and themed around their Danish and Western heritage and traditions, and the Livermore community’s history and culture.
