This book was a Work in the making for quite some time. I wanted to Illustrate our families’ cookbook and I finally started the project with Mrs. Arzy Umerova. She lives in Germany and luckily, I used to as well… so the language barrier was not so great! She spoke English Russian and German and I spoke German and English. She was amazing working countless hours Illustrating and Thusly through her cooking prowess and expertise behind the lens; was able to bring

these amazing nearly lost recipes to life! Therefore, I owe a great deal of Gratitude for Mrs. Arzy Umerova and her Husband and Daughter and her one (at the time), on the way with Blessings Arzy! Danke Schön! Viehlen Dank! I Thank You,

and my Family does as well! Many more Lifelong Great Blessings... Namaste! George Robert Martin III

The Martin Family Heirloom Cookbook III: In the Kitchen Edition Dear Reader: Thank You Kindly & Graciously for your purchase of the Martin Family Heirloom Cookbook III! It holds many Incredible Recipes from our Family to Yours! Now Partially Illustrated. Some were closely guarded Secrets unknown to the World & hidden until now. They are sure to become favored Classics at your next Formal Dinner Party or Family Engagement. We, the surviving children, cherished these recipes growing up. I was fortunate enough to become the keeper of these: the Holy Grail of Recipes, so to speak. My Father Lawrence Wesley Martin passed away leaving a Void in our Family. Our Mother Katharina Martin, passed away a handful of years later, so I decided with my other family members; it was time to sit down & finally put our best recipes together into one volume. May you come to Love and Enjoy them as you do your own Family recipes! Please try them All! We Wish you a Hearty, “Bon Appetite”!

My name is George Robert Martin III. I am a father of three great kids, who are my life. I am trying my hand at authoring short stories and How To Guides in order to cushion the impact the economy has taken on us all. My writing style can be seen as new and fresh, and hopefully entertaining. I enjoy writing and studied throughout my life to better my creativity in that department. It helps me to relax and write and my energy comes in bursts of influence. I'm a believer in the creators and you can tell by some of my books. I hope you enjoy my works and take time to share them with others that would make me very happy indeed. Thank you for your patronage and many fairer days to you. Sincerely, George Robert Martin III
